Question 4093 Deck General

The correct answer is C) two links on each side of the 30 fathom detachable link are painted white. This is based on the requirements for marking anchor chains as specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for the United States Coast Guard. According to 46 CFR 163.001-7, the 30 fathom mark on an anchor chain must be identified by having two links on each side of the 30 fathom detachable link painted white. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the regulatory standard. Option A is wrong since the entire detachable link, not just the link itself, should be painted. Options B and D specify an incorrect number of links to be painted white on each side of the 30 fathom mark.
