Has this ever happened to you?  You are all set for a great boating day out on the water.   The marine unit happens to be making safety checks in your area and as luck would have it, you are selected.  They find that your Marine Flares have expired and now you may be subject to a fine! 

It’s easy to lose track of the expiration date. Most boaters use the “3-year rule” or “3 boating seasons” as a guideline for replacement. This is where the FLARE COUNTDOWNTM can help. The FLARE COUNTDOWNTM is a visual aid about the size of a credit card that you program to help remind you that your Marine Flares are reaching the stated manufacturer’s expiration date and need to be replaced.

While this device is never a replacement for the visual inspection of your flares, we like to think that it is just as important as the cooler that you loaded on the boat!
