What are the visual signal requirements for boats over 9m?

Twelve Canadian-approved pyrotechnic distress signals
A bailer or manual bilge pump
A watertight flashlight
An anchor with at least 30m of cable

The correct answer is: Twelve Canadian-approved pyrotechnic distress signals

Boats over 9m are required to have different visual signals compared to smaller boats. These include twelve Canadian-approved pyrotechnic distress signals, which are used to signal for help in emergency situations. Options B, C, and D are not relevant to visual signal requirements and are not appropriate for use in emergency situations. A bailer or manual bilge pump is used to remove excess water from a boat, while a watertight flashlight is used for illumination. An anchor with at least 30m of cable is used to keep a boat in place and prevent drifting. Therefore, these options are not related to the visual signal requirements for boats over 9m.
