Question 1836 Deck General
70% to passOn board small passenger vessels, how often shall the Master test the steering gear?
A
Before getting underway for the day's operations
B
Every 72 operating hours while underway
C
Once a month
D
Once a week
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Before getting underway for the day's operations. The Coast Guard regulations require the master (captain) of a small passenger vessel to test the steering gear before getting underway each day. This ensures the steering system is functioning properly and safe for the vessel's operations. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the Coast Guard's specific requirement to test the steering gear before each day's operations. Testing every 72 hours, monthly, or weekly would not provide the necessary verification of the steering system's readiness before each voyage.
