Show the answer

Correct answer: b) Cast off bow lines, then the mooring line, then go slow astern watching propeller walk.

Why it is correct

Free the bow lines and mooring line before moving, so nothing fouls the propeller. Then back out slowly, watching prop walk.

Why the others are not

  • a) Full astern with lines loose is risky.
  • c) No spring like that.
  • d) We are bow-to.

How to work it out in the exam

  1. Free all, slow astern.
