NJ Boating License Exam
Bow Accurate Answer - front of a ship
Cleat Accurate Answer - Metal fitting on which a rope can be fastened
Gunwale Accurate Answer - the upper edge of the side of a boat
Hull Accurate Answer - Body of a vessel
Port Accurate Answer - Left side of a vessel
Starboard Accurate Answer - right side of a vessel
Stern Accurate Answer - Rear of a vessel
Beam Accurate Answer - Maximum width of a vessel
Freeboard Accurate Answer - Distance from water to lowest point of
the boat where water could come on board
Draft Accurate Answer - Depth of water needed to float a vessel
,Keel Accurate Answer - Main centerline (backbone) of a vessel or the
extension of hull that increases stability in the water
Displacement Hull Accurate Answer - The type of hull that plows
through the water
Planing Hull Accurate Answer - type of hull that is shaped to lift out of
the water at high speeds and ride on the surface
Vessels that have planing hulls Accurate Answer - most small vessels,
PWC's, and small sailboats all have:
Personal Watercraft Accurate Answer - A small vessel that uses an
inboard jet drive as its primary source of propulsion, and is designed to be
operated by a person or persons sitting, standing, or kneeling on the vessel
rather than inside the vessel
Displacement Mode Accurate Answer - A planing hull, when operated
at very slow speeds, will cut through the water like a displacement hull.
Plowing Mode Accurate Answer - As speed increases, a planing hull
will have a raised bow, reducing the operator's vision and throwing a very
large wake. Avoid maintaining a speed that puts your boat in plowing mode.
Planing Mode Accurate Answer - Your boat is in planing mode when
enough power is applied so that the hull glides on top of the water. Different
boats reach planing mode at different speeds.
,Length overall Accurate Answer - Total length of the ship from bow to
stern
Rudder Accurate Answer - Steering device, usually a vertical blade
attached to a post at, or near, the stern of the boat
Outboard Engine Accurate Answer - a portable, self-contained package
of an engine, gear case, and propeller that is attached to the transom of a boat
Transom Accurate Answer - Vertical surface at the back of the hull
Tiller Accurate Answer - Lever used to turn a rudder to steer a boat
Inboard Engines Accurate Answer - An inboard is a four-stroke
automotive engine adapted for marine use. Inboard engines are mounted
inside the hull's midsection or in front of the transom. Attached to propeller
through bottom of hull
Stern drives Accurate Answer - Stern drives are known also as
inboard/outboards (I/Os) because they combine features found on both
inboard and outboard engines. Stern-drive engines are four-stroke
automotive engines adapted for marine use and are mounted inside the boat.
Two-stroke engine Accurate Answer - An engine design that produces
one power stroke for each revolution of the crankshaft.
, Four-stroke engine Accurate Answer - Also known as Otto cycle. A
combustion cycle that consists of an intake, a compression, a power; and an
exhaust stroke. Also called four-stroke engine.
Jet drive Accurate Answer - propel a vessel by forcing a jet of water out
the back of the vessel. Directing this jet of water steers the vessel
Impeller Accurate Answer - Device used to pump and force water
under pressure through a steering nozzle at the rear of the vessel
Intake Accurate Answer - Opening in the hull that draws water toward
the impeller
Intake grate Accurate Answer - Screening cover over the intake, which
prevents large debris from entering
Safety Lanyard Accurate Answer - short cord for attaching the ignition
safety switch to the operators wrist or personal flotation device (life jacket).
Steering Control Accurate Answer - means of controlling the steering
nozzle
Drive shaft Accurate Answer - The long stem connection between the
motor and the impeller
Bow Accurate Answer - front of a ship
