It doesn't say specifically the fishing vessel is 'engaged' in fishing,

I never liked how the Coast Guard makes their questions so ambiguous and then they'll throw in distractions. But after reading the question twice, it kind of does say the vessel is engaged in fishing. The beginning sentence says "a vessel fishing", which would also mean a vessel engaged in fishing.

Yeah, you could be fishing and be "disengaged". LOL

if you are not "fishing" then you are just a power driven vessel and must comply with such rules

ok,it says the vessel is (fishing) not trawls-nets-lines or other fishing apparatus. it could be a sport fisher trolling or jigging therefore it would just be a power boat. I would have gotten the answer correct if the wording was more correct.

It seems to me that with these questions, when they say "a vessel fishing", they always mean a "fishing vessel" as opposed to a powerboat trolling.

Yes but it does say “a vessel fishing” meaning it’s engaged in its operations that’s what makes it a under the rules. Anytime the rules mentions fishing and vessel grouped together they are referring to it being “engage” in fish trawls, nets, or seiners. If it wasn’t engaged in fishing it wouldn’t say fishing it would say “a power driven vessel” .

These questions are not provided by the Coast Guard. If they were, it would not say "crossing situation", which can only happen between PDVs.
