When using pyrotechnic visual distress signals, at least three must be carried onboard for compliance with U.S. Coast Guard regulations for vessels. This ensures that in case of an emergency, you have sufficient signals available to attract attention and communicate your distress. It’s important to regularly check the expiration dates and functionality of these signals to ensure they are ready for use.

It is 3 NOT 7 as previously answered.
No, pyrotechnic visual distress devices are not always orange. While many are designed in bright colors like orange or red to enhance visibility, they can also be found in other colors, such as white or yellow. The important aspect is that they are designed to produce a noticeable visual signal to attract attention in emergency situations. The specific color may vary based on the manufacturer and type of device.
