This has been debated before, but are you using Electronic Beacon “Flares“ now, instead of the traditional flares we all know?
Like most, I have soooo many outdated standard flares. Aerial and handheld.
I have some in my cars for an emergency, given away many more for the same reason to others, lit some off on The Fourth of July, keep a lot on the boat as spares, tried to organize a day for everyone to light and see how they look and work, but that didn’t get the backing I hoped for.
So, I want to go electronic.
Which Electronic Beacons are you using and have a good sense of trust in? In dense fog, weather, rain situations etc.
No rush, I‘ll need new ones before July 2024, so I’m still good to go and can pass an USCG inspection.
Thank you for the input.
