For boats over 9m up to 12m, what must their safety equipment include?

A manual bilge pump or bilge pumping arrangements and an anchor with at least 30m of cable
Six Canadian-approved pyrotechnic distress signals
A watertight flashlight and a buoyant heaving line at least 15m in length
A bailer and a manual propelling device

The correct answer is: A manual bilge pump or bilge pumping arrangements and an anchor with at least 30m of cable

This is because a manual bilge pump or bilge pumping arrangements and an anchor with at least 30m of cable are necessary for boats of this size to ensure the safety of the passengers and the boat. These safety equipment are essential for handling emergency situations such as flooding or anchoring in case of engine failure. Option B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not meet the safety requirements for boats in this size range. Option B only mentions distress signals, but there are specific Canadian-approved pyrotechnic distress signals that are required for boats over 9m up to 12m. Option C includes a watertight flashlight and a buoyant heaving line, but these are not enough for the safety of the boat and its passengers. Option D mentions a bailer and a manual propelling device, but these are not necessary for boats in this size range.
