Question 1907 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Paddles. Buoyant apparatus are required to be fitted or equipped with water lights, painters, and life lines, but they are not required to have paddles. The regulations do not mandate that buoyant apparatus be equipped with paddles, which is why C) is the correct answer. The other answer choices (A, B, and D) are incorrect because water lights, painters, and life lines are all required equipment for buoyant apparatus as per the small passenger vessel regulations.
