What is the best way to minimize the risk of drowning while boating?

  1. Have a radio on board

  2. Keep a map handy

  3. Carry extra fuel

  4. Have everyone wear an appropriate life jacket at all times

The correct answer is: Have everyone wear an appropriate life jacket at all times

One of the most important safety measures while boating is to always have a life jacket on board and wear it at all times. While having a radio and map handy may be useful in case of emergency, they do not directly address the risk of drowning. Having extra fuel may be helpful, but it does not in itself minimize the risk of drowning. It is important to prioritize wearing life jackets above all else, as they can greatly increase the chances of survival in case of an accident or unexpected water conditions.
