Question 4064 Deck General
70% to passFracture damage to the end links of the anchor cable, or to the Jews' harp may be eliminated by _______________.
The correct answer is C) securing a piece of wood to the Jews' harp. Securing a piece of wood to the Jews' harp can help eliminate fracture damage to the end links of the anchor cable. The Jews' harp is the part of the anchor where the anchor cable is attached. By securing a piece of wood to this area, it helps prevent damage and wear to the cable's end links, which connect the cable to the anchor. The other answer choices are not correct. Lubricating the swivel (A) and using a smaller shackle (D) would not directly address damage to the Jews' harp. Installing the shackle with the bow towards the anchor (B) is not the appropriate solution for preventing fracture damage to the cable's end links.
