This is unused, 4 years old - bought for my boat and then it sat in a drawer in my pilothouse for four years. No smoking, and no battery was ever installed. Includes the safety flag with flotation, though the original whistle wandered off...

These meet USCG requirements as an alternative to pyrotechnic flares (of which I have dozens that are out of date!). From manufacturer literature:

Powered by a high-performance, programmable microprocessor controlling an SOS flash pattern signal flashed through an even brighter and more potent LED, our Sirius Signal SOS C-1003 model is both family-safe and easy to use. Our optical design provides an omnidirectional light display for surface rescue craft and a vertical beam visible to aircraft flying overhead. Improved flotation now even higher off the water, is visible up to 10 nautical miles, and the SOS C-1003’s beam lasts for hours compared to the minutes-long lifespan of traditional pyrotechnic distress.

Fulfills carriage of all Coast Guard Compliant Visual Distress Signal (VDS) requirements (46 CFR 175.130) for recreational marine vessels 16 FT AND OVER signals when combined with our included Distress Flag.
