Question 1904 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Compass. The small passenger vessel regulations do not require a compass to be carried on a life float. The required equipment for a life float includes paddles (A), a light (C), and a painter (D) - which is a line used to attach the life float to the vessel. However, a compass is not a mandatory piece of equipment for a life float. The other answer choices are incorrect because paddles, a light, and a painter are all required for a life float, as per the small passenger vessel regulations. A compass, on the other hand, is not a required piece of equipment for a life float.
