You WOULD be required to show a daytime and nighttime visual distress signal. Non-pyrotechnic visual signals that are approved are Orange flag (daytime only) Electric distress light (nighttime only)
Obviously the most common form of visual distress signals are pyrotechnic in nature, but its is not the exclusive form of VDS.
This USCG site explains more about VDS.

Actually my "just in case" means "in the event" that I am boarded and the NHMP insists upon seeing a NH boating education certificate after I produce a USCGAux boating education certificate.
BTW, where does a cutie in a bikini keep her boating education certificate?  |
Flare gun was a quick reference to VDS, but you are technically correct.
As far as your USCG Aux Boating Certificate, as long as it was a NASBLA approved course, then that would satisfy the requirements for a certificate.
Your reference to being "boarded" is not correct unless you are in coastal waters.
As far as where a young lady keeps her BE certificate.......well that would be her choice, but most PWCs have a hatch or two.
