kneeling on the vessel rather than inside the vessel.
Displacement Mode correct answers A planing hull, when operated at very slow speeds, will cut
through the water like a displacement hull.

Round Bottom Hull Advantages correct answers This typical displacement hull moves easily
through the water even at slow speeds.
Multi Hull Advantages correct answers Another example of a displacement hull, the multi-hull
has greater stability because of its wide beam.
Flat Bottom Hull Disadvantages correct answers Rides roughly and choppy in the waters.
Deep Vee Hull Disadvantages correct answers Takes more power to move at the same speed as
flat bottom hulls. May roll or bank in sharp turns.

Draft correct answers Depth of water needed to float a vessel.
Intake correct answers Opening in the hull that draws water toward the impeller.
Intake grate correct answers Screening cover over the intake, which prevents large debris from
entering.
Drive shaft correct answers The long stem connection between the motor and the impeller.
Impeller correct answers Device used to pump and force water under pressure through a steering
nozzle at the rear of the vessel.
Steering nozzle correct answers Device used for directing the stream of water to the left or right
at the stern of the PWC, which steers the PWC
Halyards correct answers Lines (ropes) used to raise and lower the sails.
Sheets correct answers Lines (ropes) used to control the angle of the sails to the wind.

where the sides of the vessel curve in to form the bottom
Coupler correct answers The part of the trailer that attaches to the ball hitch on a towing vehicle.
Figure Eight Bend correct answers The figure-eight knot has several uses, including connecting
two ropes to make a longer line or making a "stopper" knot in a single line in order to prevent the
line from slipping through a hole or a gap in a block or a cleat.
