Question 4550Deck 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.
The anchor shackle and stock are the two components that pass through the shank of an LWT (Lightweight) anchor. The shackle connects the anchor to the anchor chain or rode, while the stock is the horizontal bar that helps the anchor set properly when it hits the seafloor.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the components that pass through the anchor shank. The swivel and stabilizer bar (B) are not part of the anchor itself, the tripping palm and flukes (C) are the parts of the anchor that embed in the seafloor, and the crown and chocks (D) are not components that pass through the shank.
