Question 1 of 27070

While heaving in the anchor prior to entering the wildcat you observe four white links on each side of a red link. What does this indicate?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Anchor chain shot markings (red detachable link and adjacent white links) • How the number of white links on each side of the red link relates to the shot number • Difference between shots that are on deck versus in the chain locker

💭 Think About

• What does a red detachable link with white links on each side normally represent on an anchor chain? • If you see four white links on each side of a red link, which shot number are you looking at? • Once you know which shot you are looking at, is that shot currently on deck or still in the chain locker in this situation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the standard color code for shot markings (1st shot, 2nd shot, 3rd shot, etc.) • Confirm whether the shot at the wildcat is counted as on deck or in the locker at that moment • Double-check that the number of white links equals the shot number you are identifying
