What sound producing device(s) is required when boating on Alabama waters in an 18-foot powerboat?

A DJ system
A whistle, a horn, or another sound device
Voice commands only
None is required

The correct answer is: A whistle, a horn, or another sound device

Boating on Alabama waters requires an 18-foot powerboat to have a sound device, such as a whistle or a horn, to alert other boats in case of emergency or to signal to other boats while navigating. Having a DJ system (option A) is not a requirement for boating and may even be considered unsafe. Voicing commands (option C) may not be audible to other boats and is not a reliable method of communication while on the water. Option D is incorrect because, as mentioned before, a sound device is required when boating on Alabama waters.
