If it is not Submersible, than I would not consider getting this VHF for a kayak, I clicked on the link, but didn't see any specifications.

Dont cheap out on life saving equipment. Your PFD and Radio should be quality.

Go Standard Horizon. The new 751HX is Sweet.

3 watts is low too. It would not give you much range.

thanks for the fast comments ......:notworthy:
I wouldn't buy that one

5 watts minimum for good performance.

I have the ICOM M-34 Floating. Its a good unit and goes on sale from time to time.

I just bought the Standard Horizon HX280S submersible unit. Its a 5W unit. Paid a little over $100 including an additional warranty.
