You are in an open boat. When must you wear an inflatable PFD for it to count as approved?

  1. Only when the boat is moving
  2. Only at night
  3. At all times
  4. Only in cold water
Show answer

Correct answer: At all times

An inflatable PFD does not float until it fills. So you must wear it. On an open boat, you wear it all the time.
