My argument was that the up-to-date signaling flares were accessible
and labeled properly and that the emergency out-of-date flares were
there for extreme emergencies and placed in an area of the boat where
you would have to look for them to find them.

Didn't matter - the rule is the rule.

So now I carry extra up-to-date flares and give the old ones to the
local Volleys for SAR training.

What's a volley?
