    BOATERS, GOOD NEWS. NEVER BUY FLARES AGAIN!

    Every boating season I get the USCG Auxiliary Safety Inspection which requires three fresh dated flares to be aboard. When you buy new flares they're dated to expire after abouit 3 boating seasons. It's about $35 to replace them for another three years. But now there's something way better - the SOS Distress Light! It's the first and only LED Visual Distress Signal Device that meets U.S. Coast Guard requirements to completely replace traditional pyrotechnic flares. Unlike traditional flares, this electronic flare never expires which solves the big and annoying challenge of flare disposal. Weems and Plath, the inventor, says this floating electronic flare can be hand-held, tethered, or hoisted aloft. Visible up to 10+ nautical miles, it lights for up to 60 hours, unlike traditional flares which last minutes or less. (It requires 3 “C” batteries, not included.) With the included SOS flag, this combo fulfills all Coast guard requirements for marine distress signals. And it's made in the USA. This is a great safety device for boaters! Under $100.00.
