NJ BOATERS LICENSE EXAM Q&ABow - answer-front of a vessel
Cleat - answer-metal fitting on which a rope can be fastened
Gunwale - answer-upper edge of vessel's side
Hull - answer-body of a vessel
Port - answer-left side of a vessel
Propeller - answer-rotates and powers a boat forward or backward
Starboard - answer-right side of a vessel
Stern - answer-rear of a vessel
Beam - answer-maximum width of a vessel
Draft - answer-depth of water needed to float a vessel
Freeboard - answer-distance from water to lowest point of the boat where water could
come on board
Keel - answer-main centerline (backbone) of a vessel or the extension of hull that
increases stability in the water
Displacement and planning - answer-two basic types of boat hulls are...
Displacement - answer-boats with ____________________ hulls move through the
water by pushing the water aside and are designed to cut through the water with very
little propulsion.
Slower speeds - answer-boats with displacement hulls are limited to
Round-bottomed hull - answer-a ___________________________________ shape
acts as a displacement hull. Most large cruisers and most sailboats have displacement
hulls, allowing them to travel more smoothly through the water.
Planing hulls - answer-boats with ________________________ are designed to rise up
and glide on top of the water when enough power is supplied
True - answer-t or f: boats may operate like displacement hulls when at rest or at slow
speeds but climb toward the surface of the water as they move faster
, High speed - answer-boats with planing hulls can skim along at
_____________________, riding almost on top of the water rather than pushing it aside
Flat-bottomed and vee-bottomed hull - answer-____________________ and
_____________________ shapes act as planing hulls
Personal watercraft (pwc) - answer-a small vessel that uses an inboard jet drive as its
primary source of propulsion and is designed to be operated by a person or persons
sitting, standing, or kneeling on the vessel rather than inside the vessel
Displacement mode - answer-a planing hull, when operated at very slow speeds, will cut
through the water like a displacement hull.
Plowing mode - answer-as speed increases, a planing hull will have a raised bow,
reducing the operator's vision and throwing a very large wake. Avoid maintaining a
speed that puts your boat in __________________
Planning mode - answer-your boat is in ___________________________ when enough
power is applied so that the hull glides on top of the water. Different boats reach
______________________ at different speeds.
Flat-bottomed hull - answer-advantage: has a shallow draft, which is good for fishing in
small lakes and rivers. Disadvantage: rides roughly in choppy waters
Deep-vee hull - answer-advantage: gives a smoother ride than a flat-bottomed hull in
rough water. Disadvantage: takes more power to move at the same speed as flat-
bottomed hulls. May roll or bank in sharp turns.
Round-bottomed hull - answer-advantage: moves easily through the water even at slow
speeds. Disadvantage: has a tendency to roll unless it has a deep keel or stabilizers.
Multi-hull - answer-advantage: has greater stability because of its wide beam.
Disadvantage: needs a large area when turning.
Length overall - answer-dictates the equipment the vessel must have to comply with
federal and state laws; is measured from the tip of the bow in a straight line to the stern
of the vessel.
No - answer-are bowsprits; rudders; outboard motors and motor brackets; handles; and
other fittings, attachments, and extensions included in the measurement
Rudder - answer-steering device, usually a vertical blade attached to a post at, or near,
the stern of the boat
Class a - answer-less than 16 feet
