🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter I requirements for steering gear tests on cargo vessels • Time window (in hours) before departure when steering gear must be tested, especially for voyages exceeding 48 hours • How to count backwards correctly from a scheduled departure time to find the earliest compliant test time

💭 Think About

• Look up the specific 46 CFR section that covers steering gear tests before departure on inspected cargo vessels and note the required time frame in hours before getting underway • Ask yourself: for a voyage over 48 hours, does the regulation require a shorter, longer, or the same lead-time before departure for the steering gear test? • Once you know the exact number of hours allowed before departure, carefully count back from 0600 on April 7th and see which listed time is the earliest that is still inside that window

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the exact CFR citation and wording about steering gear tests for voyages exceeding 48 hours (do not rely on memory alone in the real world) • Verify you are counting hours correctly across the date change from April 7th back into April 6th • Ensure the time you select is not earlier than the maximum-hour window allowed by the regulation, but is as close to that limit as possible among the choices
