A life float on a fishing vessel must be equipped with _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) a life line.
According to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, a life float on a fishing vessel must be equipped with a life line that is at least 3/8 inch in diameter and is at least 1 foot longer than the life float. This life line provides a means for someone in the water to hold onto the life float. The other answer choices are incorrect because a signal mirror, smoke flares, and a hydrostatic release are not required equipment for a life float on a fishing vessel.
