Question 1717Deck General70% to pass
All vessels not limited to daylight service shall be fitted with a ring life buoy (small passenger vessel regulations)
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) with a water light to be attached during nighttime operation.
The Small Passenger Vessel Regulations (46 CFR Subchapter T) require that all vessels not limited to daylight service be fitted with a ring life buoy with a water light to be attached during nighttime operation. This is to ensure the life buoy is visible and can be easily located in low-light or nighttime conditions.
The other options are incorrect because: A) the life buoy must have a line attached, C) the location of the life buoy is not specified as the stern, and D) the line length requirement is 20 fathoms, not a specific 20 fathom line.
