_____________________forces are caused by actions outside the hull such as wind and waves.
- answers -:DYNAMIC
________________forces are caused by placement of weight within the hull. Adding weight on
one side of a vessel's centerline or above its center of gravity usually reduces stability. Flooding
or grounding a vessel makes it susceptible to static forces which may adversely affect stability. -
answers -:STATIC
Damage to the hull of a vessel can create ____________________________ with the sea,
permitting the movement of sea water into and out of the vessel.
___________________________________ also has a negative effect on stability. - answers -:Free
communication

pass when entering from seaward. - answers -:Lateral Aids
Red colored aids are ____________ numbered. - answers -:Even
Green colored aids are_________numbered. - answers -:Odd

answers -:green or red
This Light List is published via HARDCOPY ______________ (how often?), and posted
electronically - answers -:annually
____________ is caused by the earth's magnetic field. - answers -:Variation
__________________ is the magnetic compass error caused by magnetic influences on the
vessel. - answers -:Deviation
Changes to aids to navigation during the year are published in U.S. Coast Guard Local Notices to

:single LOP
The ELECTRONIC version of the Light List is updated how often? - answers -:Weekly
Topics in the _________________ include channel descriptions, anchorages, bridge and cable
clearances, currents, tide and water levels, prominent features, pilotage, towage, weather, ice
conditions, wharf descriptions, dangers, routes, traffic separation schemes, small-craft facilities,
and Federal regulations applicable to navigation. - answers -:Coast Pilot
Inspect _________________ on a regular basis to detect damage from:
Cuts
Chafing
Flattening
Fusing (caused by overheating or over-stretching)
Snags
Hardening (heavy use will compact and harden a towline and reduce its breaking strength)
If a line shows any of these characteristics, do not use it as a towline. - answers -:towlines
