Florida Boating Safety Class with 100%
complete solution /pass graded A+
Hull - answer-the body of a vessel
Gunwales - answer-upper edges of the boats hull
-provide extra rigidity for the hull.
transom - answer-The cross-section of the stern, where you attach an outboard
motor,
Cleats - answer-metal fittings
-When docking your boat, you fasten a rope or cable to the cleats.
Navigation Lights - answer-common types are red and green sidelights and an
all-around white light, specific to powerboats.
Bow - answer-The front of the boat
Stern - answer-The rear of the boat
port side - answer-When looking towards the bow, the left-hand side of the boat
Starboard side - answer-when looking towards the bow, the right-hand side of the
boat
Beam - answer-The width of the boat, measured at its widest point.
Generally, the larger the beam, the more stable the boat.
,Bilge - answer-A compartment at the lowest point of a boat's hull
Draft - answer-The distance between the waterline and the keel of a boat;
the minimum depth of water in which a boat will float.
AFT - answer-The area towards the stern of the boat.
Forward - answer-The area towards the bow.
Freeboard - answer-The distance measured from the waterline to the gunwale.
(vertical distance between the top of the deck and the water line)
Waterline - answer-The intersection of a boat's hull and the water's surface, or
where the boat sits in the water.
Keel - answer-A boat's backbone; the lowest point of the boat's hull,
the keel provides strength, stability and prevents sideways drift of the boat in the
water.
all boat hulls are designed to do one of only two things: - answer-1. either
displace water,
2. or ride on top of it, which is called planing.
displacement hulls - answer-1. Sailing boats, slow-moving boats, and large boats
like cruise ships have these type of hulls
2. the hulls move lower in the water, pushing or displacing water, rather than
riding on top of it.
planing hulls - answer-1. Smaller, faster boats, like powerboats or personal
watercraft have these type of hulls
,2. Planing hulls are designed to rise up and ride on top of the water at higher
speeds.
4 common types of boat hulls - answer-1. Flat-bottomed Hulls
2. Round-bottomed Hulls
3. V-shaped Hulls
4. Multi-hulled
Flat-bottomed Hulls - answer-"flat-bottomed" hulls are very stable, great for
fishing and other uses on calm, small bodies of water.
Round-bottomed Hulls - answer-1. Round-bottomed" hulls are typically
displacement hulls, and are designed to move smoothly through the water with
little effort
2. An example of a round-bottomed hull is that found on a canoe.
3. One drawback to the round-bottomed design is that it's less stable in the water
and can capsize more easily.
V-shaped Hulls - answer-1. "V-shaped" hulls are planning hulls, and are the most
common type of hull for powerboats.
2. These boats are usually equipped with a larger engine than flat or
round-bottomed boats.
Multi-hulled boats - answer-1. These boats can have either planing or
displacement hulls depending on the shape of hull and size of engine.
2. Multi-hulled boats are some of the most stable on the water and They also
require more room to steer and turn.
3. Examples of common multi-hulled boats are catamarans and pontoon boats.
, 3 types of engines - answer-1. outboard
2. inboard
3. stern drive engines.
Outboard Engine - answer-1. Mounted on the transom of the boat, outside of the
boat's hull, which is why they're called "outboards".
2. Outboard engines are used to both power and steer the boat.
-On smaller boats, this is often done using a hand tiller, while on larger
outboards a steering wheel adjusts the direction of the engine.
Inboard Engines - answer-1. Inboard engines are located inside the boat's hull.
2. Inboard engines are four-stroke automotive engines that have been modified
for use on the water.
-These engines power a drive shaft that is connected to a propeller.
3. Unlike an outboard, an inboard engine does not also steer the boat.
-Instead, inboards have a rudder or rudders that are located behind the propeller
and controlled by a steering wheel.
Stern Drive Engine - answer-1. Sometimes called an "inboard-outboard" because
it shares features of both types of engines. (outboard and inboard)
2. Similar to inboards, stern drive engines use a four-stroke automotive engine
mounted on the inside of the hull to power the boat.
3. Like an outboard, there is a drive unit used to steer the boat.
Federal and state law requires that you have - answer-specific safety equipment
on board depending on the class of your boat.
To know whether you need flares, a fire extinguisher, a flashlight, an air horn or
all of the above, you'll need to know - answer-the boat's class.
