Engine Compatibility
Not applicable. This is a marine safety signaling product, not an engine or drive component. It is intended for use with a compatible 12-gauge marine flare launcher rather than a propulsion application.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
There is no engine or drive serial-number fitment requirement for this item. The key compatibility check is that the flare matches the correct 12-gauge marine flare launcher and that the product remains within its valid service date where required. Current Canadian seller listings show these products are treated as regulated marine distress items.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this flare when it has been used, damaged, exposed to moisture or corrosion, or has reached its marked expiry/validity date. Current seller listings highlight validity dating on marine flare products, which makes date checking an important part of routine onboard safety gear inspection.
Installation Notes
Store only as directed by the manufacturer and applicable marine safety regulations. Confirm the flare is the correct 12-gauge type for the launcher, inspect the cartridge for damage before use, and keep it in a dry, protected onboard safety kit. Current listings also note that flares are treated as dangerous goods for shipping, which is a useful reminder that handling and transport requirements are stricter than ordinary marine accessories.
Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current sources reviewed identify this item as COM-1774 / 1774. Separate kit listings also reference 1774KIT, which is the launcher kit version and not the single flare cartridge part number.
Parts Desk Insight
For marine distress flares, the most important buying checks are the correct launcher type, current validity date, and local transport/storage rules. A flare that is the right gauge but out of date or not matched to the proper launcher is not the best choice for dependable emergency readiness. Current Canadian listings also commonly note that these items cannot be shipped like regular parts and may require local pickup or special handling.
Shipping: This item is treated as dangerous goods and shipping availability may be restricted depending on carrier and location.
