Under 33 CFR §164.35, the maneuvering information fact sheet required to be displayed in the wheelhouse must include which of the following?
- ✓ A turning circle diagram showing advance and transfer required to alter course 90 degrees with maximum rudder angle.Correct
- B. A turning circle diagram showing advance and transfer required to alter course 180 degrees at minimum rudder angle.
- C. The time and distance to stop the vessel from full speed only, regardless of other speed settings.
- D. Maneuvering data based on a loaded condition only, with no ballast condition required.
Why A is correct
33 CFR §164.35(g)(1) requires a turning circle diagram showing the time, distance, advance, and transfer required to alter course 90 degrees with maximum rudder angle. The regulation specifies 90 degrees, not 180 degrees, and requires data for both normal load and normal ballast conditions per §164.35(g)(6).
