Question 1527 Deck Safety

70% to pass

Your vessel is required to have an impulse-projected line throwing appliance. The auxiliary line must _______________.

A be made of synthetic material
B be of a light color
C have a breaking strength of 9000 lbs
D be 250 meters in length
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) have a breaking strength of 9000 lbs. According to the regulations for impulse-projected line throwing appliances, the auxiliary line must have a minimum breaking strength of 9,000 lbs. This ensures the line is strong enough to withstand the force of the projectile and any potential stresses during deployment and recovery. The other options are incorrect because the regulations do not specify requirements for the material, color, or length of the auxiliary line, only the minimum breaking strength.
