What vessels must be equipped with a muffler to reduce engine noise?

  1. All vessels

  2. Vessels built after January 1, 1960, operating within five nautical miles from shore

  3. Sailboats only

  4. Vessels built before January 1, 1960

The correct answer is: Vessels built after January 1, 1960, operating within five nautical miles from shore

Vessels built after January 1, 1960, operating within five nautical miles from shore are the only vessels that must be equipped with a muffler to reduce engine noise. This regulation does not apply to all vessels, as some may not have engines or may not be navigating within five nautical miles from shore. The regulation also does not apply to sailboats, as they are not powered by engines. Vessels built before January 1, 1960 are exempt from this regulation as well.
