USCG Boating Safety Kit - Electronic Flare - First Aid Kit - Whistle - Multi Tool - Waterproof Case (Plastic)
Asin: B07B31FBJY | Model: WRBSUSCG1 | PartNumber: WRBSUSCG1
Features
- Always Be Fully Coast Guard Compliant - With the Sirius Electronic distress flare you never again have to be worried about expiration dates. With this coast guard safety kit we include a flare that never expires, a signal flag that complies with day time signaling requirements and a whistle for audible signaling requirements. A traditional flare kit will expire every 42mo, meaning you will repeatedly have to purchase new boat flares costing you tons of money.
- Be Prepared for minor Injuries - When boating, you never know when you will get a cut or scrape or a hook in your finger. This boat safety kit includes a small first aid kit for those minor injuries on the water. With antiseptic wipes and bandaids and gauze etc, this is perfect for boating with kids, where even a minor cut can be a big deal if you don't have a band aid handy.
- Everything Safe and Protected - Saltwater wreaks havoc on things. That is why we put everything in a plastic, waterproof case. This keeps your uscg approved flares, your first aid kit, and everything else isolated from the salt. It has a stainless steel ring in case you want to lock it, and best of all, it floats, so if your kit does fall into the water, you will be able to easily retrieve it!
- Ready for small Mechanical Issues - Ever had a hatch some a bit loose or forgotten your bottle opener? With the little multitool included, you can do minor fixes or open your beer. This slick little tool is stainless steel, so you don't have to be concerned about rust and can definitely help out in a jam.
- Made in the USA, Assembled by a Minnesota boat Manufacturer - We know boats and we take a lot of care in assembling your boat safety kit to ensure that is is Coast Guard Approved. So if you ever have questions or need help, feel confident that you will talk to someone from the US, who knows boating!
