Planing Mode 1 year 3 months minimum If you are convicted of boating under the influence, you will lose boating privilege for _________ and drivers license for _________ B All vessels are required to have type ________ extinguishers on board. 90 It is unlawful to operate a vessel that exceeds a noise level of _______ dBA How planing hulls operate? As speed increases a planing hull will have a raised bow, reducing the operators vision and throwing a very large wake. Avoid maintaining a speed that puts your boat in plowing mode. Displacement Mode A planing hull, when operated at very slow speeds, will cut through the water like a displacement hull. Planing Hull designed to rise up and glide on top of the water when enough power is supplied. slower Boats with displacement hulls are limited to ______ speeds? Displacement Hulls move through the water by pushing the water aside and are designed to cut through the water with very little propulsion 1. Displacement 2. Planing Two types of boat hulls? Upper edge of a boat's side gunwale starboard Right side of a boat Cleat Metal fitting on which a rope can be fastened
propeller Rotates and powers a boat forward or backward 1. Red and Green sidelights 2. All-round white light What are the lights on a boat? Stern the rear part of a boat beam Maximum width of a vessel Freeboard Distance from water to lowest point of the boat where water could come on board draft Depth of water needed to float a vessel keel Main centerline (backbone) of a vessel or the extension of hull that increases stability in the water Hull Body of a boat bow front of a boat 1. Approach the dock slowly at a sharp angle (about 40 degrees) 2. Use reverse to stop when close to the dock. Secure the bow line. 3. Put the boat in forward gear briefly, and slowly turn the steering wheel hard away from the dock -- this will swing in the stern. Secure the stern line. Docking with wind or current away from the dock All-Round White Light On power-driven vessels less than 39.4 feet in length, this light may be used to combine a masthead light and sternlight into a single white light that can be seen by other vessels from any direction. This light serves as an anchor light when sidelights are extinguished. Masthead light This white light shines forward and to both sides and is required on all power-driven vessels. (On power-driven vessels less than 39.4 feet in length, the masthead light and sternlight may be combined into an all-round white light; power-driven vessels 39.4 feet in length or longer must have a separate masthead light.) A masthead light must be displayed by all vessels when under engine power. The absence of this light indicates a sailing vessel because sailboats under sail display only sidelights and a sternlight. 12 How old MUST you wear a life jacket at all times? 13 How old to get a NJ boating certificate 16 How old to operate a Jetski or anything that can go fast?
