Question 518 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) Stop the engines until clear of the man. The Williamson Turn is a common maneuver used to recover a person who has fallen overboard. It involves turning the vessel in a series of specific steps to return to the location where the person fell in. Stopping the engines is not part of the Williamson Turn procedure, as the vessel needs to maintain momentum to complete the turn effectively. The other answer choices describe the proper steps of the Williamson Turn, such as shifting to full left rudder, coming right to a heading of 150°T, and continuing until on course 270°T. Stopping the engines would reduce the vessel's ability to maneuver and could potentially delay or complicate the recovery effort.
