In illustration D038DG below, which letter indicates the pea?
• Review the standard parts of a stockless anchor: shank, crown, arms, flukes, bills, and the small rounded pea near the bottom. • The pea is a small knob/projection on the anchor near the crown and arms, not on the shank or shackle. • Compare where letters F, G, H, and J are pointing: which ones are clearly flukes or shank, and which ones indicate a small rounded projection near the bottom of the anchor?
• Looking at the illustration, which labeled letter is pointing to a small, rounded lug or knob near the crown, rather than to a flat surface or the pointed tip of a fluke? • Which letters can you rule out because they are clearly on the shank or on the main fluke surfaces instead of on a small projection? • Among the remaining letters near the bottom, which one best matches the idea of a little "button" or lug on the anchor’s arm/crown area?
• Be sure you can first identify the shank (F) and shackle (K) so you don’t confuse those with the pea. • Confirm which letters are pointing to the outer tips of the flukes/bills versus a small rounded projection nearer the crown of the anchor. • Before choosing, double‑check that the part you select is a small, rounded lug/knob, not a flat or pointed surface.
