The supplied Distress Flag provides numerous daylight signaling options. Given that a Distress Flag, meeting the requirements of 46 CFR 160.072, is included in the package with every ResQFlare, users are also provided with an approved Day Visual Distress Signal (the requirement for carriage of approved day and night visual distress signals can be found in 33 CFR part 175). Meeting the USCG requirements (46 CFR 161.013), the ResQFlare is classified as an approved Night Visual Distress Signal. One-time purchase (less cost over the life of the product).No issues with the existing stringent mandatory disposal requirements for pyrotechnic flares (legally considered as hazardous materials).Easy to operate (so even your kids and first-time boaters can operate it in the event of an emergency).
As a result, boats are safer by negating the common inconveniences of pyrotechnic boat flares including their expiry dates and stringent mandatory disposal requirements.
With its user-replaceable battery power source (2 C Batteries), the ResQFlare provides years of service. The ResQFlareâs high-efficiency electronics allow it to maintain the USCG required 75 cd peak equivalent fixed intensity for over 20 hours (more than 3 times longer than the USCG requirement for maintaining this level of light intensity).
The ResQFlare is a USCG-approved electronic boat flare kit that facilitates rescue by emitting the flash characteristic for the International Morse Code for S-O-S.
