2025 LATEST UPDATE!!
Bow - ANSWERFront of the vessel.
Stern - ANSWERRear of the vessel.
Starboard - ANSWERRight side of the vessel.
Port - ANSWERLeft side of the vessel.
Hull - ANSWERBody of the vessel.
Gunwale - ANSWERUpper edge of vessel's side.
Cleat - ANSWERMetal fitting on which a rope can be fastened.
Propeller - ANSWERRotates and powers a boat forward or backward.
Beam - ANSWERMaximum width of a vessel.
Freeboard - ANSWERDistance from water to lowest point of the boat where water could
come on board.
Draft - ANSWERDepth of the water needed to float a vessel.
Keel - ANSWERMain centerline (backbone) of a vessel or the extension of hull that
increases stability in the water.
Hull - ANSWERBody of a vessel; basic structure or shell.
Personal watercraft - ANSWERA 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 - ANSWERA planing hull, when operated at very slow speeds, will
cut through the water like a displacement hull.
Plowing Mode - ANSWERAs 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 - ANSWERYour 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.
Bow - ANSWERFront of a vessel.
Length overall - ANSWERLength of the hull excluding any attachments.
Rudder - ANSWERSteering device, usually a vertical blade attached to a post at, or
near, the stern of the boat.
Stern - ANSWERRear of a vessel
Flat Bottom Hull Advantages - ANSWERThis planing hull has a shallow draft, which is
good for fishing in small lakes and rivers.
Deep Vee Hull Advantages - ANSWERThis planing hull gives a smoother ride than a
flat bottom hull in rough water.
Round Bottom Hull Advantages - ANSWERThis typical displacement hull moves easily
through the water even at slow speeds.
Multi Hull Advantages - ANSWERAnother example of a displacement hull, the multi-hull
has greater stability because of its wide beam.
Flat Bottom Hull Disadvantages - ANSWERRides roughly and choppy in the waters.
Deep Vee Hull Disadvantages - ANSWERTakes more power to move at the same
speed as flat bottom hulls. May roll or bank in sharp turns.
Round Bottom Hull Disadvantages - ANSWERHas a tendency to roll unless it has a
deep keel or stabilizers.
Multi Hull Disadvantages - ANSWERNeeds a large area when turning.
Class A - ANSWERLess than 16 feet.
Class 1 - ANSWER16 feet less than 26 feet.
Class 2 - ANSWER26 feet less than 40 feet.
Class 3 - ANSWER40 feet to less than 65 feet.
Propeller - ANSWERRotating device that turns and powers a boat forward or backward.
Tiller - ANSWERLever used to turn a rudder to steer a boat.
, Transform - ANSWERVertical surface at the back of the hull.
Steering Control - ANSWERMeans of controlling the steering nozzle.
Safety Lanyard - ANSWERShort cord for attaching the ignition safety switch to the
operators wrist or personal life vest.
Throttle - ANSWERLever.
Starboard - ANSWERRight side.
Port - ANSWERLeft side.
Fuel cap - ANSWERWhere you put gas in on the left side of the seadoo.
Draft - ANSWERDepth of water needed to float a vessel.
Intake - ANSWEROpening in the hull that draws water toward the impeller.
Intake grate - ANSWERScreening cover over the intake, which prevents large debris
from entering.
Drive shaft - ANSWERThe long stem connection between the motor and the impeller.
Impeller - ANSWERDevice used to pump and force water under pressure through a
steering nozzle at the rear of the vessel.
Steering nozzle - ANSWERDevice used for directing the stream of water to the left or
right at the stern of the PWC, which steers the PWC
Halyards - ANSWERLines (ropes) used to raise and lower the sails.
Sheets - ANSWERLines (ropes) used to control the angle of the sails to the wind.
Capsize - ANSWERTo turn on the side or turn completely over.
Swamp - ANSWERTo fill with water.
Transom - ANSWERVertical surface at the back of the hull.
What is the maximum person on a sail boat - ANSWER7 people or 1050 lbs.
Bilge - ANSWERInterior of the hull below the floorboards; lowest part of a vessel's
interior where the sides of the vessel curve in to form the bottom
