okay the key to this question is this: vessel II is a power driven vessel engaged in fishing. The fishing part does not matter because it is not fishing vessel. It's a power driven vessel engaged in fishing. With that said vessel I is the stand on vessel since its port to Vessel II. two power driven vessels meeting. fishing has nothing to do with the question.

Fishing Vessel has right of way. And why would you ever turn to starboard and cross in front of him. Bad question.

The key to this question is that it says "INLAND ONLY". Inland rule 34(a) states that power vessels crossing at a distance of 1/2 mile or less shall indicate their intent (it's not an option) with a sound signal. This is required of BOTH vessels. The second vessel is required to respond with a signal of the same kind if permission is granted - or - 5 short blasts meaning that the second vessel does not agree with this plan.

Under the pecking order for "right-of-way", a powerboat must give way to a fishing boat (even if the powerboat is to the fishing boat's right side)

As this situation unfolds, vessel II should be able to maintain her course and speed while vessel I maneuvers out of the way. Either vessel can sound the first signal (although for this question all of the answers have to do with vessel I). Vessel I should sound one short blast and wait for a response in kind (1 short blast from vessel II). This means vessel I has indicated that it will leave vessel II to her port side. When vessel II responds with 1 short blast she is indicating acceptance of this plan.

Answer B is incorrect because you are INITIALLY supposed to sound a signal and await a response from the other vessel.

Answer C is incorrect because it is premature

Answer D is incorrect because signalling is required

If the other vessel is a fishing vessel engaged in Fishing, I believe they should have the right away. So I would sound one short blast turn to start to allow plenty of time to cross in front of the vessel engaged in Fishing !
