🔍 Key Concepts

• Shape and purpose of a timberhead on deck fittings • Differences between a cleat, bollard/bitts, and chock • How mooring lines are normally secured to vertical vs. horizontal fittings

💭 Think About

• Look at which fitting is mainly a single vertical post designed for taking several turns of a line around it • Ask yourself which fitting would normally be found at the side of a wooden pier or bulwark for belaying a line • Compare which options are clearly a cleat or a chock, so you can eliminate them first

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify and eliminate the obvious cleat (two horns with a bar across the top) • Identify and eliminate the chock/fairlead used only for leading a line, not securing it • From the remaining shapes, choose the one that best matches a heavy vertical post used for making mooring lines fast
