When must you sound fog signals? - ANSWERS--During periods of
restricted visibility, such as extreme fog.
What must you do when you hear a fog signal? - ANSWERS--If you
hear the fog signal of a vessel you cannot see, slow to a minimum
speed until you are sure there is not a risk of collision.
What is the fog signal for a power boat? - ANSWERS--One prolonged
blast at intervals of not more than two minutes
What is the fog signal for a sail boat? - ANSWERS--One prolonged
blast plus two short blasts at intervals of not more than two minutes
What are the three basic rules of navigation? - ANSWERS--1) Practice
good seamanship - take all necessary action to avoid collision, taking
into account weather, vessel traffic, and limits of other vessels.
2) Keep a proper lookout - using both sight and hearing, watch and
listen for other vessels, radio communications, navigational hazards,
and others involved in water activities.

3) Maintain a safe speed - safe speed is the speed that ensures you
have ample time to avoid collision and can stop within an
appropriate distance. Safe speed will vary depending on conditions
such as wind, water conditions, navigational hazards, visibility,
surrounding vessel traffic density, and the maneuverability or your
boat or PWC. Always reduce speed and navigate with extreme
caution at night and when visibility is restricted.
When should you take evasive action? - ANSWERS--When
approaching another vessel whose intentions aren't clear
What is the stand-on vessel? - ANSWERS--The vessel that must
maintain its course and speed unless it becomes apparent that the
give-way vessel is not taking appropriate action.
- If you must take action, do not turn toward the give-way vessel or
cross in front of it.
What is the give-way vessel? - ANSWERS--The vessel that is required
to take early and substantial action to keep well away from other
vessels by stopping, slowing down, or changing course.
- Avoid crossing in front of other vessels
- Any change in course and/or speed should be large enough to be
readily apparent to another vessel (A series of small changes should
be avoided).
What is the pecking order? - ANSWERS--1) Vessels not under
command (NUC)
2) Vessels with a restricted ability to maneuver (RAM)

3) Vessels that are constrained by their draft (CBD)
4) Commercial fishing vessels
5) Sailboats under sail
6) Power boats or runabouts
7) Sea planes and paddlers
Sidelights - ANSWERS--These red and green lights are called
sidelights (or combination lights) because they are visible to another
vessel approaching from the SIDE or HEAD-ON.
- The RED light indicates a vessel's PORT (LEFT) SIDE
- The GREEN light indicates a vessel's STARBOARD (RIGHT) SIDE
Sternlight - ANSWERS--This WHITE light is seen only from BEHIND or
nearly behind the vessel.
Masthead light - ANSWERS--This white light shines forward and to
both sides and is required on all power-driven vessels. A masthead
light must be displayed by all vessels when under engine power.
- On power-driven vessels less than 39.4 feet in length, the masthead
light and the sternlight may be combined into an all-round white
light
- Power-driven vessels 39.4 feet in length or longer must have a
separate masthead light
- The absence of this light indicates a sailing vessel because sailboats
under sail display only sidelights and a sternlight.
