Deck General USCG Question #4067 (Set 130)

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?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — The depth of the water must be at least one and one-half times the draft.

IMO and USCG requirements for maneuvering data (33 CFR 164.35) specify that trials must be conducted in deep water, defined as a depth at least four times the draft. A depth of one and one-half times the draft is insufficient and would cause significant shallow water effects, invalidating the data.
