The additional underwater surface of the bilge keel creates extra resistance to the side-to-side rolling of the hull, but does not stop rolling altogether.

How do you stop a marine mercury bilge siphon pump allowing water in to the boat?
If your engine is a sportjet, it probably has a bilge siphon system that connects to the pump. If so, the siphon hose must be "looped" from the pump above the water line, then back down to the bilge. This should prevent water from backwashing through the hose into the bilge.

What does a No Discharge zone restrict in boating?
A no discharge zone is one where no vessel may discharge anything into the water. This includes sewage, grey water (water from sinks) and bilge water. In these areas the bilge pumps should be taken out of the automatic mode so that there is no oily bilge water discharges. Bilge pumps are for the safety of a vessel you should not turn them off. as regards to oil in the bilge water this is down to the lack of another safety feature i.e a drip tray under the engines the purpose of which is to capture any oil and stop it from entering the bilges and spreading throughout the vessel. If you were to have a fire on board you should contain it to the smallest possible area for it to be extinguished , if you have oil spread throughout the bilges a fire will spread throughout the boat. If this is the case and you have oil in the bilges a thorough cleaning of the bilges and containment of any oil leaks is dangerously over due. I remember a couple who motor sailed to Norway tied the boat up and went ashore for about 30 minutes when they got back to the boat it was slowly sinking. This was caused by the sterngland leaking slightly after the engine was switched off. Had the bilge pumps been switched off at the time the boat would have sunk to near deck level.
A rolling ball will eventually stop rolling why does it do that?
It will not, unless it is acted upon another force. If it's rolling on something, then friction will stop it (the ball rubbing on the table slows it down).
At a stop sign it is permissible to make a rolling stop when no other traffic is present.?
It would depend on the jurisdiction, but I'm not aware of any jurisdiction in which a "rolling stop" is considered a legal stop.

How do you use tilt boat trailer?
A tilt trailer is the best type of trailer to have I think, since you don't need a boat ramp to launch your boat. I have a tilt trailer. First, make sure your boat and trailer are balanced properly. The boat weight should be forward of the axle slightly, so that the trailer does not tilt when the bow of the boat is touching the bow stop. Balance the trailer and boat by adjusting the axle and bow stop positions on the frame. (The tongue weight also has to be right, of course.) Also, if your trailer has bunks, the majority of the boat's weight should be on the keel rollers and not the bunks. Finally, all the tilt trailers that I have seen have a safety chain wrapped underneath the trailer tongue to keep the trailer from tilting too much. I think that's a good feature to have. When launching, back up to the water (on the beach or boat ramp) until the water is deep enough. This depends on your boat and prop length. For my boat, I back up until the water level is just below the wheel bearings or axle. Pull the tilt pin. Also, some tilt trailers have a lever that lowers the bunks to reduce friction. Start to slide the boat backwards, holding onto a bow line. If your boat is heavy, you may want to use the winch to control the speed, as the boat can accelerate as the trailer tilts. As the boat moves backwards, the trailer automatically tilts back. The boat just rolls along the keel rollers into the water. When retrieving your boat, the process is just reverse. As you winch the boat up on the aft keel roller, the trailer automatically tilts back. As the bow reaches the bow stop, the trailer frame levels out again. Before you drive off, remember to replace the tilt pin! A tilt trailer is pretty easy to use and you usually don't have to submerge your wheel bearings in the water!
