## Discrepancy

DURING REMOVAL OF THE NUMBER THREE LIFE RAFT FOR OVERHAUL, ONE OF THE BREAK AWAY BANDS BROKE AND THE RAFT PARTIALLY INFLATED ON THE HANGAR FLOOR.  ONLY HALF OF THE RAFT INFLATED AND THE OTHER HALF WAS STUCK TO THE OPEN PORTION OF THE RAFT.  THE RAFT WAS LAST OVERHAULED IN 2017.  BOTH THE LOCAL FSDO AND WINSLOW LIFE RAFT COMPANY WERE CONTACTED.  THE INSPECTOR FROM THE LOCAL FSDO WANTED AN SDR COMPLETED AND WINSLOW WILL SEND US A NEW RAFT TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ONE.
