Any idea what to do with the old expired flares. I have a ton of them dating back to 1989 or so... I got new ones again this year and kept some of the ones that just expired as extras on the boat but have a bunch in the garage.

I've often asked this question as it seems there are always plenty of expired ones around. One important thing is DON'T store them with your new ones as it's a no-no but I do carry an old set on the boat seperately.
One thing you can do with the extras is donate the to an Aux. Coast Guard station to be used in one of their training classes.
Eventually you'll have bunches of them. Another thing I've noticed is when buying them, check the stock on the shelf as I've seen quite a variation in expiration dates(as much as a year).
