Where do you sit in a boat to keep it from tipping over ?

Sometimes, rocking the boat is the only way to get attention. Sometimes the boat needs to change course because it's heading for dangerous waters. \n\nOne analogy about stability doesn't meant that things are better when stable.

Not much you CAN do, really.\n\nSit down and cover your lap until it subsides.

sit on the edge of your seat, your back needs to keep straight otherwise it wil hurt. (in a while) I got the advice from a fysiotherapist

The Sea. The sea can make a ship float but not a pin.

Essentialy, you do it the same way you would from a boat. You're just comming at it from a different direction. Fish the cover; weed beds, stumps, rocks, or anything else that might hold fish.

Go for a wooden one that can be extended. Usually, the back third can be replaced by an extention that you use when using the rest. Avoid gimmick cues like aluminium and carbon fibre. Leave those to the fishermen!

Stay with the car. If the water level raises above the car stand on the roof. Never try to swim away. Just sit tight as long as you can until help comes or the water subsides.

You could ram the iceberg head on. If you do that, then the ship wouldn't sink, because the water would only get in the first, or maybe second watertight compartment, rather than five compartments like it did happen.

the reason your boat has "trim" (prop up and down) is to make your boat cruise without using so much fuel.  When you start, the trim is all the way down.  As you start to plane (skip over the water) pull your trim up.  The front of your boat will raise and less of your boat will be in the water.  The end result of this is that the drag on your boat from the water will be less.  Your boat will be faster and more fuel efficent.  This answer is based on over 40 years of boating experience.  Have Fun

It is where the hull touches the water

I would take it to the shop and ask them to apply it. My only concern is that people often use rudders to compensate for bad paddling techniques, and it also changes the turning moment of the craft to the rear, so the kayak wants to pivot from the rear, not from the center. If it is to be used to compensate for a weather helm (turning upwind while paddling in a crosswind) maybe a retractable skeg would be a better alternative. The last concern is that if you are coming in with a following sea in windy weather, as your kayaks rear lifts with a wave, your rudder comes out of the water when you need it most, and that is when the craft will have a tendency to broach and tumble, which can be a real problem. The Europeans use a retractable rudder that is at least 1 meter from the aft of the boat and stays in the water at all times. Just thoughts to ponder, thanks for listening.

They make a lantern hanger that cantilevers the lantern over the side of the boat. Basspro has one for 12 bucks.\n\nhttp://www.basspro.com/servlet/catalog.t...

because of the gravitational pull on the water, it comes down, not straight

The waterline is the point on the ship that the water comes up to.  There are two waterlines.  The one where the water comes up to when the ship is loaded (either with cargo or passengers), and the one the water comes to when the ship is empty.  The boat decks, are the floors.  You can have cargo decks (or the hold) where cargo is stored.  You can have passanger decks where people can reside.  You also can have the ouside decks.  In the case of an aircraft carrier, it is referred to as the flight deck.  The keel, is the line down the center of the underside of the ship.  In older times, this keel went down below the ship several feet.  Now a days, they are only a few inches.  These helped to keep the ships from tipping or "keeling" over.  Thus the saying "keeping an even keel".   I hope this helps a little.
