Q

Which type of davit is not considered to be a mechanical davit?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Mechanical davit vs. manually‑operated davit (how the boat is swung out and lowered) • How power is applied: gears, screws, winches, or mechanical advantage vs. simple manual swinging by hand • Typical davit designs used for older lifeboats versus more modern mechanically‑assisted types

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself which davit type relies mainly on human muscle to swing the boat out rather than built‑in power or gearing • Look at the names: which ones suggest gears, screws, or shaped tracks that control the motion of the davit? • Think about which davit you would expect to find in older vessels with simple, manually‑swung lifeboats

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options obviously involve a screw, boom, or shaped track/arc – those are usually mechanical • Verify which design is described in your materials as being hand‑powered to slew out with no screw or geared mechanism • Before choosing, confirm that the davit you pick is described as manually swung out rather than moved by a mechanical system
