USCG Exam Practice · Hypothermia and cold-water survival

Under 46 CFR Part 28, 'cold water' is defined as water where the monthly mean low water temperature is normally at or below which value?

  1. A32 °F (0 °C)
  2. B45 °F (7 °C)
  3. C59 °F (15 °C)✓ correct
  4. D65 °F (18 °C)

Why C is correct

46 CFR §28.50 defines cold water as water where the monthly mean low water temperature is normally 59 °F (15 °C) or less. This threshold is significant because it triggers more stringent survival craft requirements for vessels operating in those waters.
