Q

The riding pawl is __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Windlass components and how they interact with the wildcat and locking ring • Difference between stoppers, locking devices, and safety interlocks • Typical parts of an anchor handling system versus cargo winch systems

💭 Think About

• Which choice mentions a part that would logically ‘ride’ on something and then ‘engage’ or lock another part? • Which options clearly belong to anchor windlass/anchor handling gear, and which belong to unrelated cargo gear or lashing systems? • If the anchor cable were to jump the wildcat, what kind of device would protect against that, and is that the same as a pawl that ‘rides’ and ‘engages’ a ring?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices clearly relate to an anchor windlass and which relate to cargo/winch or lashing systems • Focus on the mechanical action in the words: rides, engages, locks, stopper, interlock • Visualize the windlass: wildcat, locking ring, pawl – which description best fits a lug that moves and drops into teeth or a ring to prevent reverse movement?
