Question 3460 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 600 feet. When the water depth is 500 feet, the typical length of the pendant wire from the anchor to the buoy is approximately 600 feet. This is because the pendant wire is typically 20% longer than the water depth to account for the angle of the wire and to ensure the buoy is properly supported and remains visible on the surface. The other options are incorrect because 400 feet would be too short to reach the bottom at 500 feet, and 500 feet and 1000 feet would not provide the recommended 20% additional length for the pendant wire.
