Question: 1 / 400

When boating on federally controlled waters in an 18-foot boat, what equipment are you legally required to have on board?

A map of the water body

U.S. Coast Guard-approved visual distress signals

Federally controlled waters refer to any body of water under the jurisdiction of the federal government, such as oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. In an 18-foot boat, an individual is required to have U.S. Coast Guard-approved visual distress signals on board. These signals are used to alert nearby boats or rescue services in case of an emergency. A map of the water body, while useful, is not a legally required piece of equipment in this situation. A certified marine mechanic would be useful to have on board for routine maintenance but is not a legal requirement. Fishing equipment is completely unrelated and would not be required in this scenario. Overall, the correct answer, B, is the only option that directly pertains to the question and is mandated by law for safety purposes.
