Ordered direct from Sirius and it arrived quickly. Simple to set up and so much better than replacing flares every couple of years. And no issues with disposal!

- In the U.S., the combination of the C-1002 electronic visual distress signal device (eVDSD) and a distress flag allows recreational boaters to meet visual distress signal requirements without carrying pyrotechnic flares when operating in the Great Lakes, within 12 miles of U.S. coastal waters, or on any waterway with a passage at least two miles wide leading to the sea. Vessels less than 16’ in length are not required to carry a day visual distress signal but must still carry a night visual distress signal if operating from sundown to sunrise. This makes the C-1002 an effective alternative to pyrotechnic flares for vessels operating in these conditions.
