Question 4883 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 854 kips. The position of the rotary (34 feet aft of the transom and 2 feet to port of the centerline) is a key factor in determining the maximum allowable hook load, as it affects the stability and weight distribution of the vessel. Based on the changes to the lightweight shown in the Operating Manual, the calculations would result in a maximum allowable hook load of 854 kips. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the maximum allowable hook load based on the given information and the relevant regulations or guidelines.
