USCG-Approved SOS Distress Kit

The WUQ C-1003 kit replaces traditional pyrotechnic flares with an electronic LED signal that flashes the US Coast Guard SOS pattern for up to 60 hours on included batteries. The bright orange light is visible up to 10 nautical miles. An orange distress flag and a quality marine whistle are included to satisfy daytime visual and audible signal requirements respectively. Improved flotation keeps the unit higher in the water than older models.

Boaters Needing Full Compliance

This kit suits vessel owners who require a single, non-pyrotechnic package that meets USCG night, day, and audible distress standards without the hassle of expiry dates. It is not for buyers who need an automatically activating EPIRB or PLB that transmits a satellite alert with GPS coordinates. Users requiring a manually operated red aerial flare for specific race regulations or international waters should look at dedicated pyrotechnic options.

Highlights

  • USCG-approved night, day and audible compliance kit
