USCG Exam Practice · Rule 26 — Fishing Vessels (lights)
A vessel engaged in fishing other than trawling has outlying gear extending 200 meters horizontally from the vessel. What additional light or shape must she exhibit?
- AA red all-round light in the direction of the gear
- BAn all-round white light or a cone apex upward in the direction of the gear✓ correct
- CA flashing yellow light in the direction of the gear
- DA second all-round white light directly above the existing white light
Why B is correct
33 CFR §83.26(c)(ii) requires that when outlying gear extends more than 150 meters horizontally from the vessel, an all-round white light or a cone apex upward shall be exhibited in the direction of the gear. The 200-meter distance exceeds the 150-meter threshold, triggering this requirement.
