question 6 of 10
since boats do not have brakes, what is the best way to bring your boat to a stop?
a cut the power and quickly turn right or left
b increase speed and quickly turn right or left
c shift into reverse and apply power to the engine
d drop a large anchor from the stern

Explanation:

When a boat needs to stop, shifting into reverse and applying power (Option C) directly counteracts the forward motion. Cutting power and turning (A) just reduces some speed but doesn't stop effectively. Increasing speed (B) is dangerous. Dropping an anchor (D) is not a practical or immediate stopping method for normal boating situations.

Answer:

C. Shift into reverse and apply power to the engine
