70% to passWhere must the draft marks be placed on a small passenger vessel?
A
On each side of the stem
B
Near the stern post or rudder post
C
At each end of the vessel
D
On each side, amidships
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) At each end of the vessel. According to the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, draft marks must be placed at each end of a small passenger vessel. This allows the vessel's draft to be easily measured and monitored, which is crucial for ensuring the vessel operates within safe loading limits. The other options are incorrect because: A) The stem is only one end of the vessel, not both ends. B) The stern post or rudder post is a specific location, not the full ends of the vessel. D) Amidships is the middle of the vessel, not the ends where the draft marks need to be placed.
