1. Where is the pivot point on a boat?

On a power vessel , usually one third back from the bow

2. Red over white over red lites indicate?

Restricted in ability to manuver

3. In the Florida Keys, Specifically Key Largo, where is the demarcation line?

As it is on most ANY island, along the edge of the island.

4. Which craft has the lowest ranking in right of way rules?(this is and easy
one)

seaplanes

5. what is the proper polite way to pass a slower vessel on the ICW.

slow down, signal your intention(radio or horn) hopefully the slower vessel
will come to idle, pass as signaled with as little wake as possible.

6. Can you explain the red, on the right rising ?

It works ALL the time, red on the right does not work all the time. IF the
numbers are rising on the markers, red is on your right.

7. You are in the ocean, you see a yellow quick flasing light in the water,
what does that indicate?

a Submarine.
8. A knot weakens the strength of a line by how much?
50%
9., what is a red over green over red marker with a small yellow triangle on
the top red section.
it.s an icw channel intersection maker with the red being dominant.
10.Why is the bathroom on a boat called the head?
Beacause in the "old days" the sailors would use the ropes tied under the bow
of the boat, under the carved Lorili, or the carved head.

Dsk,, you did not do well at all.
just as I suspected. You are NOT a boater, or at least if you are, your
probably dangerous.
