Boaters, Check Expiration Dates On Your Equipment! | BoatUS

Checking expiration dates on key boating safety equipment is critical as you head back out on the water this year. While it's important to check expiration dates because its the law, ultimately doing this quick check is critical for the safety of you and your guests. For example, pyrotechnic flares expire 42 months after date of manufacture and have an expiration date stamped on them. Fire extinguishers now must be replaced at least every 12 years. And even automatic inflatable life jacket bobbins need to replaced regularly.

Thanks, SFSA! With everything else boaters need to do to get ready for the season, it's easy to forget things like expiration dates. Thanks for watching!
