Too bad that isnt in the test eh!
It's amazing how many people have NO CLUE how to use one even with the instructions, lol.
In 2010 during a tournament on Rice Lake, my partner and I noticed a big cruiser smoking quite heavily...we pulled up the minn kota, and booted it over to them, to find their boat was ON FIRE.
They had the extinguisher out...but had NO idea how to use it! We had to jump on board, and put it out for them. First and only time I've had to use my Firefighter training so far, LOL.
Imagine if we hadn't showed up and they had to sit and read instructions WHILE their boat was on fire.... what a joke! These are common sense items that people need to know how to use. Could save your life, along with others.
