SEA-GEAR Model 1500-91B & 1500-91T Button Messenger
SEA-GEAR
Brass Button Messenger, 1500-91B is a two-pound (91kg) general-purpose
actuator designed for use with water bottles, plankton
nets, double release mechanisms and other
on-wire underwater devices. It offers a smooth cylindrical body without
protrusions. The spring loaded button slides back when pressed against
the up to 5/16” (.82cm) hydro-wire. Depressing the button for cable
removal is an easy task for cold, wet, left or right hands. The messenger
is equipped with a nylon lanyard for use with sequentially operated instruments.
Model 1500-91T Teflon Button Messenger conforms to the same critical design requirements as the brass version and offers the same ease of operation for applications in which any metallic contact is undesirable.
