🔍 Key Concepts

• Bilge and how water collects in the lowest part of a boat • What limber holes look like and where they are located in small boats and lifeboats • Difference between draining water inside the hull versus water going overboard

💭 Think About

• Picture water sloshing around in the very bottom of the lifeboat hull. How does that water move so it can be removed? • Think about whether limber holes are usually above the waterline or down low where water collects. • Ask yourself: do limber holes directly dump water outside the boat, or do they help move water from one inside area to another?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that bilge means the lowest inner part of the boat where water accumulates. • Check whether limber holes are typically small passages between frames/compartments rather than openings to the outside of the hull. • Verify which option describes water moving within the boat’s interior versus water going directly overboard.
