Aboard a 60 foot long small passenger vessel (other than a ferry) which is certificated to carry 33 persons, the minimum capacity required per bilge pump is __________.

Correct Answer: Option A — 10 gallons per minute

Under 46 CFR 119.440, small passenger vessels less than 65 feet in length are required to have at least one bilge pump with a minimum capacity of 10 gallons per minute. This ensures basic dewatering capability for minor ingress or accumulation of water in the bilge spaces.
