Check your new flares

Post by john d »

Chased up a new set of flares today.
Had to go to a few places to find them as some stores were sold out.
When i did find a set I checked the date before purchasing and found it ran out april 2013.
Asked for another set and they ran out may 2012.
WTF.. :shock:
The staff at the shop were taken back a bit and started checking a few of the boxes in stock before finding the correct ones which expire in 2015.
Thet said that they had run out this week and just got a new batch in.
Dont know of I should give the brand of them on here but they come in a plastic box
Not stating the shop or the manufacturer have deliberatley done anything wrong.
But if you have purchased flares recently check your dates on them.
Might be hard explaining to the marine police that they are new if the dates are printed wrong.
:cheers:

How do you think I felt when the flares supplied with my new boat expire next year!!!
Still waiting for the replacements.
Might just let them off in their office. That might spring them into action. :evil:

Yeah thanks for that John. Mine came with the boat not long ago and I have assumed that I have a few years on them. Better check 'em when I get home :cheers:
