Question 349Navigation General70% to pass

The Light List indicates that a dayboard is a type MR. You should _______________.

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) leave it on either side. A dayboard is a type of daymark that is used to mark a navigation channel or other important feature. The Light List indicates that a dayboard is a type MR, which means it is a "Junction Daymark". A junction daymark is used to mark the location where a channel changes direction or intersects another channel. Since a dayboard is a junction daymark, it should be left on either side as you navigate through the channel. This allows you to pass the dayboard on either the port or starboard side, depending on the channel configuration. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not properly describe how to navigate past a junction dayboard.
