I've been given some boating gear, my dad health is beyond return and he's given up on his life on the water. He won't even come out in my boat any more he's just unable too. So he's selling his boat.
Amongst the gear is a water snake brand 150n manual inflatable life jacket brand new in the packet.
I opened it up and found the manufacturer date is 2013.
I also checked the compressed gas cylinder just out of curiosity and it has no rust or damage. It looks new. The rest of the Jacket checks out like brand new as well - following the self check list.

It comes with a self check (re-certify) card.

Can I re- certify it now given the 6 years since it's been made ?
Last thing I need now is a fine for an expired life Jacket.

Wish I was fishing today.

Cheers all
I'm in Victoria.

To be safe, best to contact the manufacturer and ask them:
