The lever shown in illustration D013SA below is operated when a lifeboat is which of the following positions?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) waterborne.
The lever shown in illustration D013SA is operated when the lifeboat is in the waterborne position, meaning it has been lowered to the water and is no longer connected to the ship. This lever is used to release the lifeboat from the falls (ropes/wires) that lower it, allowing the lifeboat to float freely once it reaches the water.
The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) the lifeboat is still connected to the ship during lowering, B) the lifeboat is at the embarkation deck and not yet waterborne, and C) the lifeboat is in the secured position, not yet lowered to the water.
