🔍 Key Concepts

• Effect of counterflooding on stability and list • How adding water weight affects center of gravity (G) and list direction • Risks of over-correction when counterflooding

💭 Think About

• What does it mean if the ship suddenly lists to the opposite side while you are still counterflooding? • Is the new list showing that you have added too much weight, not enough weight, or weight to the wrong location? • In an emergency, is it usually safer to keep changing conditions rapidly, or to first stop the action that is making the situation unstable?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which action will stabilize the situation first before attempting further corrections • Consider which options involve adding more water weight and how that affects stability • Eliminate any choice that would increase the angle of list or further shift the center of gravity away from centerline
