Question 2728 Deck General

70% to pass

Radar reflectors are required for _______________.

A all fishing vessels of less than 200 GT
B all fishing vessels over 39 feet in length
C sail-propelled fishing vessels
D wooden hull fishing vessels with a poor radar echo
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) wooden hull fishing vessels with a poor radar echo. Radar reflectors are required for wooden hull fishing vessels with a poor radar echo, as these vessels are more difficult for other vessels to detect on radar. This requirement is specified in the regulations for Vessel Equipment Requirements under the U.S. Coast Guard regulations. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the specific requirement for radar reflectors. Radar reflectors are not universally required for all fishing vessels under 200 GT or over 39 feet in length, and they are not required solely for sail-propelled fishing vessels.
