Question 2724 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 1 electric distress light. According to the regulations for Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, vessels operating more than 25 miles from the coastline on the Great Lakes are not required to carry an electric distress light as part of their distress signaling equipment. The required distress signals for this operating area include 3 red parachute flares (A), 6 red hand flares (C), and 3 orange smoke signals (D). The electric distress light is not a mandatory requirement for this type of vessel and operation.
