Canadian Boating Practice Exam

While all boats are required to have some form of signaling device, such as flares or a whistle, those that are over 6m in length and motorized are also required to have visual signals such as flares or a distress light. Therefore, option B is incorrect because the size of the boat does not determine its need for visual signals. Similarly, option D is incorrect because sleeping arrangements do not impact the required safety equipment. Option A is also incorrect because while a manual bilge pump is an important safety feature, it does not exempt a boat from needing visual signals. The only correct and logical answer is C, as a non-motorized boat under 6m in length may not need visual signals but is still required to have a signaling device.
