What action should you take if a davit-launched liferaft aboard a MODU cannot be launched because of damage to the davit?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — roll the liferaft over the side
If the primary launching mechanism fails, the liferaft must be deployed manually. Rolling the raft over the side allows it to be inflated in the water, providing a secondary means of escape. This procedure is a standard contingency in emergency abandonment drills to ensure all personnel can evacuate.
