"Battery operated (3 C-cell) with simple twist-on operation"
I don't see where it says that the batteries can't be replaced.
Too bad they don't have Canadian coast guard approval.

Might be a "no brainier" financially, would you really want to rely on an

Dave,
A couple other things to explore beyond the engine / shaft alignment already
mentioned:
A possibility might be the hub of the Flex prop is not seated properly on the
shaft and therefore is off center. If the key moved out of position as you
slid the hub on, the hub could ride up

So we don't think Bubba Redneck would realize what a light flashing "Dit

beer sign.
I think I agree. If I buy one, I'll keep my flares.

To me it is just another tool, I would not rely on it only. I do think the
idea of will Joe the plumber would know what SOS is, so I would want to
have both on board, then again I have at least 15 flairs on board. (many
expired, but still dry and sealed, so likely to be useful in an emergency.

Good points.
Unfortunately the advice I have received is that testing or practicing with
expired flares is
illegal, at least in Canada. I could imagine in a sudden distress situation,
particularly including
heavy wind and waves, that a crew member that has never fired or even loaded a
shotgun

I have expired SOLAS flares from life raft service places for free.
Parachute, day/smoke, water color die, handheld etc. I have more than one
of each of these plus old inner tubes to light on fire in case of total
Armageddon. These are what I would expect to draw attention, not the wimpy
USCG crap
The 4 equal size ones in the cabin solon. Not the large opening
hatch/escape hatch.

My lower spreaders also each have a tiny crack at the trailing edge. The
crack is about 1/8" - 1/4", on the middle of the seam. My rig inspector
didn't seem at all concerned about it, and there were bigger issues to
tackle first. I'd have to see a picture to know how bad your's looks, but

I'm going over my survey which I was not present for. I'm 2000 miles from
my boat at this time... But the survey person said my throttle is
reversed. How would I fix this? Is it likely backwards on the helm side
or on the engine side at the carburetor /throttle valve? Why would the PO
have it
Thinking about it, the transmission would be reversed not the throttle
right? . How would I reverse that? Survey says it's a Kanzaki
transmission.
