What safety equipment is mandated for PWC if all onboard are wearing approved lifejackets?

A VHF radio
A sound signalling device and a magnetic compass
A watertight flashlight or three pyrotechnic distress signals, a magnetic compass, and navigation lights
An emergency locator beacon

The correct answer is: A watertight flashlight or three pyrotechnic distress signals, a magnetic compass, and navigation lights

One reason the other options are incorrect is because they do not pertain to necessary safety equipment for a personal watercraft (PWC). Option A mentions a VHF radio, which is not required for a PWC if all onboard are wearing lifejackets. Option B lists a sound signalling device and a magnetic compass, which are also not mandated for a PWC. Option D mentions an emergency locator beacon, which is not required for all onboard wearing lifejackets on a PWC. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it includes a watertight flashlight or three pyrotechnic distress signals, a magnetic compass, and navigation lights, which are necessary safety equipment for a PWC.
