___ are located on the outer edge of the raft and makes the raft float. It's divided into at least two compartments.

Buoyancy tubes are the flotation system along the outer edge of an inflatable raft. They form the inflatable chambers that keep the raft afloat, and they’re designed to be divided into at least two compartments so that if one chamber is damaged, the others can still provide buoyancy and keep the raft afloat. Ropes serve to secure or lash components, not to provide flotation. Hand rails are for holding on and safety, not for keeping the raft buoyant. A sea painter is a line used to secure or tow the raft, not a flotation component.
