According to Alabama law, what equipment is required when a vessel (other than a PWC) is towing a skier and does not have a capable observer on board in addition to the operator?

A flag signaling a skier down
A wide-angle rear view mirror
An extra life jacket
A GPS device

The correct answer is: A wide-angle rear view mirror

When towing a skier without an additional observer on board, it is required by Alabama law to have a wide-angle rear view mirror in order to ensure the safety of the skier and others on the water. Option A (A flag signaling a skier down) is incorrect because this flag is only required when the skier is in the water and not being towed. Option C (An extra life jacket) is incorrect because although it is important to have enough life jackets for each individual on board, it is not specifically required for towing a skier. Option D (A GPS device) is incorrect because it is not a necessary piece of equipment for towing a skier and does not pertain to the safety of the skier or others on the water.
