Liferaft service

[Oscarpop]

We have a Viking rescue you pro liferaft which is due it's service in a few months.

Can the liferaft be serviced at any centre that services liferafts? Or does it have to be one approved by Viking?

We are currently in Antigua and there is a service centre down the road. However Vikings website shows the nearest service centre in Guadeloupe.

Thanks

The guys in Antigua are crap. They serviced by Viking raft before I brought the boat back, and when Viking UK opened it up, they just laughed and said "who the hell did that". It wasn't sealed, wasn't packed properly, and the release mechanism was in a pickle.

Take it to Viking in Guadaloupe.
