certification exam / question 2 of 60
question 2
suppose you have a 19-foot boat. what information will be shown on your boat’s capacity plate?
a maximum weight and/or number of people
the boat can carry safely
b maximum gallons of fuel the boat can carry
c minimum weight of people and/or gear
needed for stability
d minimum load capacity of a trailer for this
boat

Explanation:

A boat's capacity plate is designed to indicate the safe carrying limit. It shows the maximum weight (including people, gear, etc.) and/or the maximum number of people the boat can safely carry to ensure stability and safety on the water. Option B is incorrect as fuel capacity is not shown on a capacity plate. Option C is wrong because a capacity plate focuses on maximum, not minimum, load for safety. Option D is incorrect as a boat's capacity plate does not provide information about a trailer's load capacity.

Answer:

A. maximum weight and/or number of people the boat can carry safely
