IIRC I looked that one up because my placard is on the
engine access door, which is blocked by the companionway
steps.

Good try. I'll give you a 1/2 point. But, that's not it.

You mentioned the Marpol, what about the ''oil
discharge''
placard. Does that only need to be displayed near the
engine?

Hint: It has to be posted not just carried.

You've been randomly boarded by the Coast Guard. You
are
just outside the
demarcation line.

You have a documented vessel under 12 meters and a
6-pak, near coastal
ticket. Upon a thorough
inspection by the CG, you're found to have all of the
proper safety
equipment in place and it is up-to-date. In addition,
you have the
documentation number posted, the documentation
paperwork
for the boat, the
proper charts, and a copy of the Navigation Rules.
The
boat is properly
marked on the hull, you have your original license,
and
have not exceeded
the limits of your license in any way. The marpol
sticker is aboard. Since
you usually sail on Inland waters, the head is
disabled
from pumping over
the side in the proper fashion.

In fact, one of the boarding party remarks that you
have
generally
exceeded the requirements. But, of course, they're
not
finished with their
inspection.

They interview your six passengers (you don't carry
crew) and find
everything is in order. For example, you've briefed
them
on the use of
emergency equipment and shown them the location of
fire-extinguishers and
similar.

This particular boarding party is exceedingly
thorough,
and unfortunately,
they find that you're missing one item of paperwork.
You're cited for
this.

Name this document.
