Engine Plants (Supplementary) USCG Question #847 (Set 9)

If your vessel has a starboard list after taking on fuel, you would transfer fuel __________.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — to port

A starboard list indicates an excess of weight on the starboard side, shifting the center of gravity to starboard. Transferring fuel from starboard to port creates a counter-moment that shifts the center of gravity back toward the centerline, eliminating the list.
