What items are in the aft starboard locker?

• A. 2 engine batteries, engine battery distribution panel, main negative/bonding busbar
• B. 4 30' mooring lines
• C. 1 Class B-1 Fore Extinguisher
• D. Tow Light Mast

Answer: (A)

The items in the aft starboard locker are two engine batteries, the engine battery distribution panel, and the main negative/bonding busbar. This makes sense because the aft starboard area is a logical home for heavy electrical components tied directly to the engine and starting system. Keeping the batteries and their distribution gear together with the bonding busbar nearby centralizes power management, reduces long wiring runs, and simplifies maintenance and troubleshooting.

The other items wouldn’t typically live in that locker: mooring lines are stored in a line locker designed for securing lines; a Class B-1 Fore Extinguisher belongs in a forward or engine-room access area where it’s readily reachable in case of a fire, not in the aft starboard locker; and a Tow Light Mast is a signaling device that would be stowed on deck or in a dedicated equipment locker, not in an interior electrical locker.
