Question 1337Deck Safety70% to pass
A right-handed propeller will cause the survival craft to _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) walk the stern to port in reverse.
This is because a right-handed propeller on a survival craft will cause the stern to walk or move to the port (left) side when the craft is operated in reverse. This is due to the rotational torque of the right-handed propeller, which creates an asymmetric thrust that pushes the stern to the port side.
The other options are incorrect because: A) a right-handed propeller does not cause the craft to right itself if capsized, B) the stern will walk to port, not starboard, in reverse, and C) the propeller's rotation does not affect the craft's top speed compared to a left-handed propeller.
