🔍 Key Concepts

• Magnetic compasses and how nearby metals affect them • Why positioning on the boat can matter for accurate readings • When and why you apply compass error corrections in small craft

💭 Think About

• Think about which actions directly affect the magnetic needle’s ability to point to magnetic north. • Consider whether each option (A, B, C) is a good practice with a lifeboat compass, even if not always strictly required. • Ask yourself: Is there any choice that is clearly not necessary or not always practical in an emergency lifeboat situation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how metal objects influence a magnetic compass reading. • Consider whether a lifeboat compass is usually pre-corrected/calibrated, or if the user must routinely apply a separate correction. • Think about whether placing the compass exactly on the centerline is critical, or if the main concern is something else.
