Canadian Boating Practice Exam

Boats under 6m without an inboard engine, fixed fuel tank, or fuel-burning appliance are not required to have a fire extinguisher. Option A is incorrect because it specifically states that a 5BC fire extinguisher is required, which is not true as per the given scenario. Option C is incorrect because it states that any type of fire extinguisher is acceptable, which is not necessarily true as certain types of fire extinguishers may not be suitable for a boat. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that fire buckets are sufficient, which is not true as fire buckets may not be as effective as a fire extinguisher in case of a fire onboard. The right answer is option B, which correctly states that these boats are not required to have a fire extinguisher unless equipped with specific features such as an inboard engine, fixed fuel tank, or a fuel-burning appliance.
