Summary
Ground Team and Aircraft Deployed to find a 406MHZ distress beacon with GPS.  We found a very  large boat  in Admirals Cove Marina with the activated EPRIB. The local  security force was very helpful in getting us access to the Captian and Owner. An ACR GPIRB II appears to have an internal electrical short, that caused the unit to activate.  We removed the unit and the battery from the boat and let the EPRIB with the Admirals Cove Security group. - MISSION SUCCESSFUL
