Wife can't drive boat - so if something happened to me that incapacitated me - can she set it off and get help ??
Or are they purely for recreation activity mishaps ??

PS
Any links for acquiring please

I'd say that if other comms are available, i.e. mobile phone, then that should be your first option if around the house. Have your coordinates written down ahead of time for wifey to read to the 111 operator.

PLBs send their GPS coords via satellite to the relevant rescue coordination centre, but these coords are are only accurate to 100m.
