Which of the following is not a required equipment to check before going boating?

  1. First-aid kit

  2. Local hazard information

  3. Personal ID Card

  4. Safety equipment in working order

The correct answer is: Personal ID Card

A Personal ID Card may be recommended to have on hand while boating, but it is not a required equipment for safe boating. The other options - First-aid kit, Local hazard information, and Safety equipment in working order - are essential items to have before going boating to ensure the safety of both the boater and any passengers. The first-aid kit can be used for any minor injuries that may occur, and having local hazard information allows the boater to avoid any potentially dangerous areas. Safety equipment should always be in working order to be ready in case of an emergency. Thus, the correct answer is option C, Personal ID Card, as it is not a mandatory equipment for safe boating.
