Under what condition can watertight flashlights be used as navigation lights?

  1. Only on powered vessels

  2. For all vessel sizes

  3. On small sailing vessels under 7m in length

  4. Never

The correct answer is: On small sailing vessels under 7m in length

This is incorrect because watertight flashlights can be used as navigation lights not only on small sailing vessels under 7m in length, but also on kayaks, canoes, and rowboats. Option A is incorrect because watertight flashlights can be used on unpowered vessels as well, as long as they are visible and meet the required standards for navigation lights. Option B is incorrect because while watertight flashlights can be used for a variety of vessel sizes, they are not suitable for larger vessels that require more powerful and permanent navigation lights. Option D is incorrect because watertight flashlights can be used as navigation lights under certain conditions and circumstances, they are not always prohibited from being used.
