The maneuvering information required to be posted in the wheelhouse must be based on certain conditions. Which of the following is NOT one of these conditions?

A There must be calm weather-wind 10 knots or less and a calm sea.
B The hull must be clean.
C There must be no current.
D The depth of the water must be at least one and one-half times the draft.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) The depth of the water must be at least one and one-half times the draft. This is because the regulations do not require the depth of the water to be a specific multiple of the vessel's draft in order for the maneuvering information to be posted. The other conditions - calm weather, clean hull, and no current - are the factors that must be present for the maneuvering information to be based on. The depth of the water is not one of the required conditions specified in the regulations for the maneuvering information to be posted in the wheelhouse. The other answer choices A, B, and C correctly describe the conditions that must be met.
