Canadian Boating Practice Exam

What is required for boats 6 meters or less?

1. A compliance notice for motor power

2. A hull identification number

3. A pleasure craft license

4. A life jacket for every person onboard

The correct answer is: A compliance notice for motor power

Boats that are 6 meters or less in length are considered Class A recreational vessels according to Transport Canada. Boats in this category do not require a hull identification number, as they are generally smaller and meant for recreational use only. However, they do require a compliance notice for motor power, which is a decal that must be displayed on the boat to show that it meets certain safety standards. A pleasure craft license is required for all boats operating in Canadian waters, but this applies to all boats, not just those 6 meters or less. While having a life jacket for every person onboard is a safety requirement for all boats, it is not the correct answer for this particular question. Therefore, A is the required option for boats 6 meters or less.
