Importance of Marine Safety Equipment
Marine Signaling Devices
“Expect the best but prepare for the worst” isn’t just a slogan for boaters—it is a standard that underscores the necessity of carrying regulation safety equipment on board. While it is unlikely that these items will ever be used, their presence is essential for ensuring the safety of passengers and fellow boaters. Responsible boat owners not only complete boating safety courses but also make it a point to keep life preservers and other required equipment on board for every trip. In addition to these basics, it is important to consider other types of safety equipment and to stay informed about new technologies that may render traditional flashlights and other devices obsolete. Sending out marine distress signals may never become necessary, but being prepared—and compliant with requirements—is crucial.
Upgrading Your Boat’s Safety Gear
For those considering upgrades to their boat’s safety equipment, IE Boat Supplies offers a comprehensive selection of marine distress signal devices from trusted brands such as ACR Electronics, Cal-June, and Ocean Signal. One highly recommended product is Cal-June’s S.O.S. Distress flag, which is USCG-approved and features a large, highly visible 9-square-foot design, complete with corner grommets and ties. The flag comes with a reusable zip lock storage bag for convenience. In emergency situations, such as when a boat is disabled in rough seas, Ocean Signal’s RescueME Electronic Distress Flare proves invaluable. This device emits a constant LED light visible up to 7 miles away and is compact enough to fit in a drawer, life raft, or backpack.

Another excellent option is ACR’s Firefly PRO Waterbug, a SOLAS-approved strobe light with automatic water activation. When submerged, the unit activates and exceeds USCG regulations by providing continuous strobe lighting for 56 hours using just two AA batteries. Additionally, IE Boat Supplies stocks ACR’s SM-2 Automatic Crew-Overboard Marker Light, which is suitable for divers, commercial marine professionals, and anyone needing a dependable COB light. This device uses a high-intensity Xenon strobe to offer 360-degree visibility.
