What is the purpose of limber holes?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — To allow water in the bilge to get to the boat drain
Limber holes are drainage channels cut into internal structural members like floors or frames. Per 46 CFR, they allow accumulated bilge water to flow freely toward the lowest point of the hull where the boat drain or bilge suction is located.
