Question 1 of 27070

What is the number of fire extinguishers required on an uninspected "Motor vessel" based on?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Part 25 – Requirements for fire extinguishing equipment on uninspected vessels • How the Coast Guard groups small vessels in size ranges for equipment tables • The difference between requirements based on people on board vs. physical dimensions of the vessel

💭 Think About

• Look at a typical Coast Guard equipment table for uninspected motorboats and motor vessels: what column heading do the extinguisher requirements change with? • Ask yourself: for lifejackets (PFDs), the rules usually depend on people. For fire extinguishers, do they follow that same pattern, or a different one? • Which of the four answer choices is commonly used to break vessels into categories like “under X”, “X to Y”, “over Y” in many other safety regulations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check 46 CFR Part 25 to see how the table is organized for uninspected motor vessels. • Verify whether the extinguisher requirements change when crew size changes, or when a measurement of the hull changes. • Confirm that the factor used is one that can be easily measured and does not change from trip to trip (unlike number of persons aboard).
