USCG Exam Practice · Single-screw maneuvering and prop walk
Per 33 CFR §164.25, within what time period before getting underway must the required pre-departure equipment tests be completed?
- A6 hours
- B24 hours
- C12 hours✓ correct
- D48 hours
Why C is correct
33 CFR §164.25(a) states that no person may cause a vessel to enter into or get underway on the navigable waters of the United States unless the required equipment tests have been completed no more than 12 hours before entering or getting underway. The 48-hour figure applies to the emergency steering drill under §164.25(d), not the pre-departure equipment tests.
