I have 3 of the auto inflate PFD's which I had one to turn red. I pulled the manual (lollipop) backup and it still inflated. That was the only issue I had since going to the auto inflate buying them 6yrs ago. I keep mine stowed away in a storage bin in my boat that serves as a seat as well. Prior to any trip out, they are on the inspection walk around for serviceability use. I keep spare cartridges in my safe with desiccant bags. When out on the lake with guests, most of the time I hang them on the back of the seat. When alone in the boat fishing I wear mine. Humidity levels have elevated a lot this winter.
