Your 5 m motorboat has an outboard motor, a portable fuel tank and no cooking appliance. Does the table require a fire extinguisher?

  1. Yes, one 5BC, because the boat has a motor
  2. No, the table does not ask for one in this case
  3. Yes, one 10BC, because the boat has a motor
  4. Yes, but only when you boat at night
Show answer

Correct answer: No, the table does not ask for one in this case

For boats up to 6 m, the extinguisher rule depends on an inboard engine, a fixed fuel tank or a fuel-burning appliance.
