(4) For each vessel with a controlable
pitch propeller a table of control settings for a representative range of

device is effective in maneuvering the
vessel.
(b) The maneuvering information

depth twice the vessel’s draft or greater; and
(4) Clean hull.

be different from those listed above if any of
the following conditions, upon which the maneuvering information is based, are varied:
(1) Calm weather—wind 10 knots or less,
calm sea;
(2) No current;
(3) Water depth twice the vessel’s draft or
greater.
(4) Clean hull; and
(5) Intermediate drafts or unusual trim.

(d) The information on the fact sheet
must be:
(1) Verified six months after the vessel is placed in service; or

(2) Model tests;
(3) Analytical calculations;
(4) Simulations;
