70% to pass

With adaptor blocks/chocks in place on an LWT stock anchor, the trip angle will be _______________.

A 20°
B 30°
C 40°
D 50°
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 30°. With adaptor blocks/chocks in place on an LWT (lightweight) stock anchor, the trip angle is set to 30°. This is the standard and recommended trip angle for LWT anchors as per the regulations and guidelines set by the US Coast Guard for anchor design and installation. The other answer choices are incorrect because 20° would be too shallow, 40° would be too steep, and 50° would be excessively steep for a properly configured LWT anchor system.
