An interesting overview on the features/considerations when getting Visual Distress Signals. Thanks, West Marine!
Good summary!
No mention of Electric Distress Lights
Trying to understand the rules and how they apply to my boat.
Boat: 13 ft aluminum, outboard motor, portable fuel tanks.
Requirements as I understand: Life jackets, throwable floatation, whistle/horn, navigation lights
If I understand correctly, my size boat and outboard with removable tanks negates the extinguisher REQUIREMENT(not saying I don’t have one, but not required by law), also the flares are negated?
US Coast Guard's minimum requirements may not be enough for a boat to operate lawfully as safety equipment requirements vary by location. We recommend that boaters consult a West Marine store in their area for assistance or contact the local regulatory body.

With laser and supernova bright LED lights, I am surprised the requirement for a fire hazardous flare still exists~
Yes! They are still very common in the marine industry!
