Question 3560Deck General70% to pass
Which two components pass through the shank of an LWT anchor?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Anchor shackle and stock.
In a lightweight (LWT) anchor, the anchor shackle and the stock pass through the shank. The shackle connects the anchor to the anchor chain or rode, while the stock is the horizontal crosspiece that helps the anchor hold its position on the seafloor.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the components that pass through the shank of an LWT anchor. The swivel and stabilizer bar are not part of the anchor itself, the tripping palm and flukes are located at the bottom of the anchor, and the crown and chocks are not internal components of the anchor.
