I. Sound Signaling Devices
Class 1 powerboats (16 to less than 26 feet) are re-
quired to carry a hand, mouth or power operated horn
or whistle. It must produce a blast of two-second dura-
tion and audible at a distance of at least one-half (1/2)
mile. The 248 and 268 Vistas are equipped with a single
trumpet horn. This single trumpet horn meets this re-
quirement. See Figure B7.
