Check that you have clean fuel Calculate how much fuel you need and make sure your tank carries this amount Stern All-round light 2. Explain how engine power contributes to the difference Stem between planing and displacement hulls. A planing hull will make a boat rise slightly out of the water so that it is gliding over the water rather than ploughing through it. It requires power to get the boat to planing speed. The displacement hull only needs a small amount of power to move due to the large amount of water displaced due to its larger size and load. 3. Which of the boats on 5 would you take over a bar? Deep V, twin engine, rigid inflatable, catamaran and tri-hull 9. List any five things you should do with your boat after every trip Keep a boat under cover or under a tarp to protect it from sun, rain, leaves and general weather. Wash down. Inspect for corrosion, cracks, wear and tear. Touch up with paint and wax. Check that the bungs are in good serviceable condition. Ensure bilges are clean and dry. Make sure the self draining holes are clear and grease the flaps if necessary. Keep the hull and decks clean and properly waxed. Patch any cracks. Keep aluminium and stainless steel parts clean and polished with a good metal wax. Check all screws, bolts and other fittings to keep secure. Flush engine with fresh water to minimise the formation of deposits that can clog cooling passages. Take off the engine cover, check connection sand spray with water repellent. Wash down the exterior of the boat and motor, and dry. Cowling Cowling clamp Anticavitation plate Shift lever Leg Deck Starter cord Bow Throttle Water intake

What is the difference between lights T2, T4 and T6 shown opposite? T2 is a special mark that flashes yellow every two and a half seconds T4 is a lateral mark that flashes red every four seconds T6 is a lateral mark that flashes red every two and a half seconds 4. On the illustration opposite: a. Circle the cardinal mark and indicate where safe water can be found. CC2 with safe water to the west of the mark b. What bearing is the line of the leads and how can you distinguish between them? Line of leads is 56 0 T. The front lead has a quick flashing yellow light and a red light that flashes every 3 seconds. The back lead flashes every 2 seconds. c. Circle a port light that flashes 9 times every 15 seconds. How is this indicated on the chart? Fl (9) 15s d. Circle an anchorage and a starboard light that flashes green every 6 seconds Power vessel Greater than 50 m underway Vessel engaged in dredging - pass on side with diamonds Vessel with divers below 5.

Type: Sectored light Where found: at North Island Colour north of WP2: Green Colour at WP2: White Colour south of WP2: Red Colour if viewed from land: Does not flash over land on part island as indicated 6. What does this symbol indicate, where is it found and what is it used for?. Direction of buoyage, found on charts Navigating into port
