if you can try to trade that auto inflate pfd to one with a ripcord such as the mustang mentioned

Thanks for the idea.

Pretty sure I can make the auto one I have manual by just taking out the water sensing pin since it does have the manual pull string.

Usually I dont think the auto is a problem aside from when the swells are really crazy which isnt common at the launch, but that is the scenario when I would want my pfd at its best. haha

So im going to debate taking out the water sense pin and making it manual, or just risking keeping it auto, and if it does go off again then moving onto one of the kayaking/fishing style pfds.

I have one of these west marine auto fill vests. and when wet it will go off. I replaced the cartridge and removed the water sensor, but have always wondered if it will inflate when I pull the string? I do now use the kayak vest, no worries there just has to be on!
