GME Epirb MT606GNZ Manual/Water Activation
GME is proud to introduce the MT606G Range of EPIRBs, our most advanced EPIRBs yet, equipped with a
range of cutting-edge features. These include an integrated GNSS Receiver (Global Navigation Satellite
System) for accurate positioning, an infrared strobe light for improved search and rescue (SAR) visibility,
121.5 MHz homing signal, and A.I.S. (Automatic Identification System) that alerts nearby AIS-equipped
vessels of the EPIRB activation. When every second counts, alerting nearby vessels could make all the
difference.
The MT606G EPIRB Range is approved for worldwide COSPAS-SARSAT operation, ensuring reliable
distress alerting and location services globally. With a 10-year battery life, these EPIRBs offers long-lasting
performance and peace of mind.
THE MT606G EPIRB Range is available in two variants Category I, Float-free (MT606FG) and Category II,
Manual release (MT606G), designed to meet the diverse needs of a wide variety of marine operations.
GME has a longstanding history in the emergency beacon industry, having produced its first EPIRB in
1979. The MT606G Range represents the latest innovation in GME's portfolio, delivering advanced safety
features and dependable performance for mariners in distress situations.
The Accusat MT606G Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) is designed to be
used when the safety of your craft and crew is endangered and you have no other means of
communication. The EPIRB can save your life and the lives of others on board by leading an
air/sea rescue to your precise location. In the past, extensive and lengthy searches have been
carried out for missing craft, sometimes to no avail.
The MT606G includes Automatic Identification System (AIS) emergency broadcasting. Upon
activation, a distress signal is broadcast to nearby AIS equipped vessels. A nearby vessel
can potentially render assistance faster than traditional search and rescue assets, leading to
better outcomes for survivors.
The MT606G is a self contained 406 MHz radio transmitter that emits an internationally
recognised distress signal on a frequency monitored by the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system.
Each EPIRB contains a unique identity code which can be cross referenced to a database
of registered 406 MHz beacons, allowing the beacon’s owner and vessel to be immediately
identified in the event of an emergency. The EPIRB can be manually activated by the operator
in an emergency situation and also has automatic activation modes when submerged in water.

It is the best boat we have had and is such a perfect fit over in Fiji, such an eye grabber that can handle all types of weather which can change in a moment. We use it for day cruising, sight-seeing, island hoping, and game fishing and it fits every purpose!

GRAHAM & SARA TIETJEN – BREAKAWAY II
I am very happy with the boat – easy to tow, launch, retrieve and handle Even my wife can winch it on the trailer in adverse conditions – It is a pleasure to own at our stage of life.

DAN HOGARTH – ON DA ROCKS
I mainly lure fish out of Tauranga and you need a good stable boat down here as most of the time I’m standing and actively fishing. It’s small, stealthy and with the Minnkota it’s great for hunting in the harbour shallows. I’m also more than happy sitting many kilometres off the coast. It’s a great looking little boat and always gets plenty of attention and compliments. I’ve been fishing out of small alloy tinnys most of my life, but these are nothing like the tinnys of old. Would and do totally recommend them.

ADAM TAYLOR – CHASING TAIL
I bought a FC 430cc Centre Console a year ago and loved it. I saltwater fish as well as saltwater fly fish and the boat ticks all the boxes! I upgraded to the FC 535cc Christmas just gone so I could get out a bit further for possibly bigger game fish. The boat is perfect if I was to ever change I would then go to the FC 560cc, awesome boats!!!

JASON INNES – CHILLAXIN
We love our FC 500ss side console as it has so much fishing space, we have had 6 fishing from it. I’m not sure if there is another 5m boat around that could cater for that.
Another asset we really like about our boat is the high sides as this has made it a lot safer for my kids (4.5yrs and 1.5yrs old) to be on, the sides are at chest height which all but eliminates any chance of them going over.
The hull design makes it extremely stable at rest and we have had it in some sloppy conditions out from Raglan and it has never been a problem. We look forward to a lot more great times in our “big” little boat.

BRUCE HORROX – ON THE JOB
Having purchased the FC 560 Cuddy Cabin, with a 115hp Mercury, in 2015, we have found the boat to be an amazing amount of pleasure. This being our first boat, it has exceeded our expectations from the day of purchase. It is easy to tow, easy to launch and easy to operate. The boat rides well and you feel comfortable in choppy conditions with the added ability of being able to retain water in the hull to give the extra weight required to help stabilize the boat in the water. The FC gives us plenty of room to comfortably be able to fish four from the cockpit, so the family gets to enjoy the pleasure as well. The only downside is not being able to get out on the water more often.
