Scotty 50 ft Rescue Throw Bag – 660 lb Floating Lifeline | SCO-793

Be Ready to Act — 50 Feet of Rescue Line, Ready to Throw

When someone goes overboard, seconds matter. The Scotty 50 ft Rescue Throw Bag puts 50 feet of high-visibility, floating rescue line in your hands in an instant — ready to throw accurately and reliably when it counts most. It’s one of the most important pieces of safety equipment you can keep on board, and one of the easiest to deploy.

The 9/32" braided MFP polypropylene rope floats on the surface so it stays visible and reachable for the person in the water. At 660 lb test, it has more than enough strength to haul an adult back to the vessel even in current or chop. The bright orange self-draining bag stores the line in a ready-to-throw configuration and dries quickly after use, while the 3M reflective safety band makes the bag visible in low-light conditions — exactly when you’re most likely to need it.

The adjustable shoulder strap keeps the bag accessible on deck, at the helm, or clipped to a rail — not buried in a locker.

Best use case: This throw bag is the go-to for powerboats, sailboats, kayak support vessels, and commercial workboats where a fast, reliable overboard rescue line needs to be within arm’s reach at all times. The 50 ft range covers most close-quarters rescue scenarios — docking incidents, falls from a swim platform, or a crew member swept off a sailboat in moderate conditions. The 3M reflective band and orange bag make it a strong choice for vessels operating at dawn, dusk, or in reduced visibility. It’s also a practical compliance item for vessels required to carry throw lines under Transport Canada or USCG regulations.

Heads up: For maximum effectiveness, mount the bag in an open, accessible location — not inside a locker. The adjustable strap makes it easy to hang at the helm, on a rail, or near the cockpit. After any deployment or water exposure, open the bag and allow the rope to dry fully before repacking to prevent mildew and ensure the line runs freely on the next throw. Pair with a whistle and a visual distress signal for a complete overboard response kit.
