You wish to make good a course of 230°T while turning for an engine speed of 12.5 knots. The set is 180°T, and the drift is 1.7 knots. What course should you steer?

Correct Answer: Option D — 236°T

To maintain a desired track (Course Made Good) of 230°T against a set of 180°T, the vessel must steer into the current. Using a maneuvering board, the required heading to compensate for the 1.7-knot drift is 236°T, ensuring the resultant vector aligns with the intended track.
