By having sufficient freeboard once the vessel's gross weight has been displaced. Freeboard is the height from water surface to the lowest point of the walls (gunnel) of the vessel. Any water that does come inboard (spray or wave over the side) needs to be pumped out of the vessel.

How do you keep a boat afloat?
By keeping the water out. Don't exceed the boat's weight capacity and don't allow any holes in the boat.
How does a steel boat float in water?
A steel boat floats in water because of a principle called buoyancy. The weight of the water displaced by the boat is equal to the weight of the boat itself, allowing it to stay afloat. The steel hull of the boat is designed to displace enough water to support its weight and keep it from sinking.
What must be done with the vessels registration paper?
keep it aboard the boat when in operation.
How do you get rid of water boat-man insects in your pool?
Keep clohrine levels at constant
Why did the Egyptian boats not drown when they had rocks for the pyramids?
The water displaced created a force of buoyancy sufficient to keep the boat from sinking. This is the same idea with steel ships. If you take a ball of steel and put it in the water, the steel sinks, but large battleships made entirely of steel float. Why? When as ship presses into the water, it pushes against the water on all points under the water's surface. The water pushes back, more weakly than the boat (otherwise the boat would sit on the water the way a car "sits" on land), but enough to keep the boat from completely sinking.
What is the ballast on a boat?
Weight used to keep the boat stable in the water. Old seagoing vessels, such as pirate ships use to have ballast stone which was kept in the bottom of the boat down the middle(keel) to keep the boat sitting properly in the water. Modern submarines use saltwater in their ballast tanks(big huge tanks located inside the hull) to enable them to sink and remain submerged
How can water move the boat?
Water moves the boat by exerting a force on it in the opposite direction to the movement of the boat. When the propeller of the boat rotates, it pushes water backwards, which, in turn, propels the boat forward. This reaction force from the water helps move the boat through the water.
Could a lead boat float?
Sure, if it has enough air to keep the total density less than that of water.
What information is most important when passing near a lighthouse in a boat?
easy - keep away from the rocks
What is the draft line of a boat?
that is where the water level is when the boat is in the water.
What is it called when you remove water from a boat?
Removing water from a boat
What part of a swordfish boat's gear is the bird?
The bird is a kind of "sea anchor" that is lowered into the water on a cable, on each side of the boat from booms out over the water. It is shaped sort of like a streamlined "bird" from which it gets its name. The birds keep the boat steadier in the water as it's moving and help reduce rolling in heavy seas.
