Question 524Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What lights, if any, would you exhibit at night if your vessel were broken down and being towed by another vessel?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) The colored sidelights and a white stern light.
This is the correct answer because the International and Inland Navigation Rules require a vessel that is being towed to exhibit the same navigation lights as a power-driven vessel underway. This includes the colored sidelights (red and green) and a white stern light.
The other options are incorrect because A) exhibiting no lights would not be in compliance with the navigation rules, B) the lights for a power-driven vessel underway are different, and C) the single white forward and aft lights are not the correct configuration for a vessel being towed.
