There is another good use of electronics flares, assuming they float, which is in the man overboard (MOB) situation. Once you have thrown out the first MOB-like helper, like a dan-buoy or similar, continue to dump floating items. This creates a trail back to the person in the water without relying on other high-tech stuff, although these are very useful if you later fail to find the MOB victim in the first few attempts. Using these electronics (floating) flares will massively increase the chances of a happy ending, particularly at night.

I also keep my expired flares. They aren't counted as part of the required equipment but they still work. Keep the legally required equipment onboard but then also get any other equipment, electric or otherwise, that you think would aid in your rescue. Remember that the regs are minimums to ensure everyone has as least that equipment aboard.
