Shurhold Handle Mate PFD f/855 Handle

The Shurhold Handle Mate PFD for 855 Handle is a specialized personal flotation device designed for boat owners and anglers who rely on deck handles during water operations. This neoprene sleeve transforms an essential safety tool into a multi-functional asset that protects your vessel's surfaces while adding genuine buoyancy support. Anyone who spends serious time on the water understands the value of redundant flotation—this handle cover delivers that backup safety margin without compromising ease of use or everyday handling.

The Handle Mate PFD combines a protective neoprene outer sleeve with an integrated foam insert that provides measurable flotation capacity. The neoprene material safeguards your deck handle and surrounding gelcoat or painted surfaces from scratches, dings, and wear caused by repeated gripping and movement in rough conditions. The closed-cell foam insert offers buoyancy without water absorption, meaning the flotation remains effective even after extended immersion. At just 0.45 pounds, the assembly adds negligible weight while functioning as both equipment protection and an accessible PFD that's always in reach during emergencies.

This accessory is ideal for boaters who prioritize comprehensive safety systems and vessel longevity. The Shurhold Handle Mate PFD fits the 855 Handle specifically, ensuring proper integration with your existing Shurhold deck hardware. Installation is straightforward—the sleeve slides over the handle and stays secured during normal operation. Anglers, cruisers, and recreational boaters alike benefit from having additional flotation positioned at a natural grab point, particularly valuable in emergencies or when assisting others aboard. Dimensions of 8 x 3 x 10 inches accommodate standard deck applications without creating snag hazards or obstruction to movement.
