Question 2727Deck General70% to pass
You are on a 92 foot fishing vessel with 35 individuals on board. Which one of the following items are you NOT required to have on board?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Gyro compass.
According to the regulations for uninspected passenger vessels (which would include a 92-foot fishing vessel carrying 35 individuals), a gyro compass is not a required piece of equipment. The regulations do require a magnetic compass (choice C) as well as a VHF radiotelephone (choice D) and an electronic position fixing device (choice B) such as a GPS. The magnetic compass is necessary for navigation, while the VHF and electronic positioning are critical for safety and communication. However, a gyro compass, which provides a stabilized heading reference, is not mandated for this size and type of vessel.
