In each inflatable rescue boat, what piece of equipment is provided to make quick, emergency, temporary repairs to a large hole in a raft?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Several various-sized sealing clamps

Mechanical sealing clamps are provided in inflatable survival craft equipment packs per 46 CFR requirements. They allow immediate, tool-free compression patching of major structural tears or large holes without relying on glues that fail on wet surfaces.
