The 36 question, multiple choice exam requires a 75% mark to receive a passing grade. Boaters can print a temporary card as soon as they pass online and their permanent card is mailed to their home in a few weeks, and the card is good-for-life, it never needs to be renewed.
This law applies to all ages, many people think that kids need to be 16yrs to get certified and that if you are 65 yrs and up you are grandfathered, this is false, there is no minimum age to get certified, and no age exemption. Others think that you don't need the card if your motor is under 10 horsepower, but in fact it's needed to operate any size motors, even an electric motor on a canoe for example.
"Taking the test online is convenient and the study material is free online", says Robert Dupel, spokesperson for BoaterExam.com. "What is keeping us really busy is all the boaters who have lost their Card and are calling to get a replacement card before Tuesday so they can keep boating legally. "BoaterExam.com's national database of boaters, the largest in the country, is the first place boaters should look if they have lost their card, chances are we have their record on file" says Dupel.
