70% to pass

The sea painter is secured in the lifeboat by _______________.

A a knot around a thwart
B an eye splice placed over one of the hooks of the releasing gear
C a turn around a forward thwart with a toggle pin thru the eye
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) a turn around a forward thwart with a toggle pin thru the eye. The sea painter is a line attached to the bow of a lifeboat that is used to control the boat's movement when launching or recovering it. Per Coast Guard regulations, the sea painter should be secured in the lifeboat by passing it around a forward thwart and securing it with a toggle pin through the eye. This allows the painter to be quickly released when launching the boat. The other options, while potentially securing the painter, do not meet the specific regulatory requirement for the proper method.
