VERIFIED ANSWERS |ALREADY GRADED A+|
Except for engine exhausts, each inlet or discharge pipe that
penetrates the hull within six inches of the waterline and below at
the vessel's operating draft must have a
_____________________ that is located as close to the hull as
possible. - ANSWER-positive action valve or cock
Vessels of at least 26 feet in length must be fitted with individual
bilge suction lines and bilge suctions for each
____________________ compartment. - ANSWER-watertight
Vessels of 26 feet and over are required to have a
________________ alarm that indicates a visible and audible
alarm at the vessels operating station, in each of the following
unmanned spaces: A space with a thru-hull fitting below the
deepest load waterline, a machinery space bilge, bilge well or
other spaces subject to flooding from sea water piping within the
space, a space with a non-watertight closure, such as a space
, Page |2
with a non-watertight hatch on the main deck. - ANSWER-Bilge
High Level
A ______________ indicator must be provided at the vessel's
operating station to indicate when any automatic bilge pump is
operating. - ANSWER-visual
_________________ shall be installed on the fuel supply piping
at the fuel tank and at the engine. - ANSWER-Fuel shutoff valves
Fuel tanks shall be fitted with a ___________ at its highest point
under normal operating conditions. - ANSWER-vent pipe
Vessels are not required by regs to have a toilet or Marine
Sanitation Device (MSD). MSD's are classified as a Type I, II, or
III. Type ___ and ____ treat the sewage so that it can be pumped
overboard. Type ____ MSD's are holding tanks and can only be
pumped ashore or in the territorial seas beyond 3 miles from
shore. - ANSWER-I, II, III

On sport fishing vessels where it can be shown that higher rails
would interfere with normal operations, rails of at least
________________ may be permitted. - ANSWER-30 inches
The certified lab under the Drug Testing Program performs the
tests on specimen collected for which drugs? - ANSWER-
Marijuana, cocaine, opiates, phencyclidine (PCP), Amphetamines
Who must be tested for drugs? - ANSWER-Master, operator,
navigator, lookout, deckhand who handles lines
Negative test results must be kept for ______ year. Positive test
results must be kept on file for __________ years. - ANSWER-
One, Five
_______________ is the upward force of water displaced by the
hull. - ANSWER-The buoyancy
, Page |4
__________________is affected by movement of the center of
gravity or center of buoyancy or by some outside forces, such as
wind and waves. - ANSWER-Equilibrium
_____________________ stability tends to keep the vessel from
rolling over (capsizing). Additional weight above the center of
gravity increases the distance from the center of gravity up to the
center of buoyancy. As a result, stability is also decreased.
Removal of weight from below the center of gravity also
decreases stability. If the center of gravity is raised enough, the
vessel will become unstable. - ANSWER-Transverse (athwart
ships)
_____________________forces are caused by actions outside
the hull such as wind and waves. - ANSWER-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. - ANSWER-STATIC
