A powered vessel:
Rule 35 - Sound Signals in Restricted Visibility
In or near an area of restricted visibility, whether by day or night the signals prescribed in this Rule shall be used as follows:
(a) A power-driven vessel making way through the water shall sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes one prolonged blast.
(b) A power-driven vessel underway but stopped and making no way through the water shall sound at intervals of no more than 2 minutes two prolonged blasts in succession with an interval of about 2 seconds between them.
(c) A vessel not under command, a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver whether underway or at anchor, a vessel constrained by her draft, a sailing vessel, a vessel engaged in fishing whether underway or at anchor and a vessel engaged in towing or pushing another vessel shall, instead of the signals prescribed in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Rule, sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes three blasts in succession, namely one prolonged followed by two short blasts.
(d) A vessel engaged in fishing, when at anchor, and a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver when carrying out her work at anchor, shall instead of the signals prescribed in paragraph (g) of this Rule sound the signal prescribed in paragraph (c) of this Rule.
(e | d) A vessel towed or if more than one vessel is towed the last vessel of the tow, if manned, shall at intervals of not more than 2 minutes sound four blasts in succession, namely one prolonged followed by three short blasts. When practicable, this signal shall be made immediately after the signal made by the towing vessel.
(f | e) When a pushing vessel and a vessel being pushed ahead are rigidly connected in a composite unit they shall be regarded as a power-driven vessel and shall give the signals prescribed in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Rule.
(g | f) A vessel at anchor shall at intervals of not more than 1 minute ring the bell rapidly for about 5 seconds. In a vessel 100 meters or more in length the bell shall be sounded in the forepart of the vessel and immediately after the ringing of the bell the gong shall be sounded rapidly for about 5 seconds in the after part of the vessel. A vessel at anchor may in addition sound three blasts in succession, namely one short, one long and one short blast, to give warning of her position and of the possibility of collision to an approaching vessel.
(h | g) A vessel aground shall give the bell signal and if required the gong signal prescribed in paragraph [(g) | (f)] of this Rule and shall, in addition, give three separate and distinct strokes on the bell immediately before and after the rapid ringing of the bell. A vessel aground may in addition sound an appropriate whistle signal.
(i | h) A vessel of less than 12 meters in length shall not be obliged to give the above mentioned signals but, if she does not, shall make some other efficient sound signal at intervals of not more than 2 minutes.
(i) A vessel of 12 meters or more but less than 20 meters in length shall not be obliged to give the bell signals prescribed in paragraphs (g) and (h) of this Rule. However, if she does not, she shall make some other efficient sound signal at intervals of not more than 2 minutes.
(j | h) A vessel of less than 12 meters in length shall not be obliged to give the above mentioned signals but, if she does not, shall make some other efficient sound signal at intervals of not more than 2 minutes.
(k | i) A pilotage vessel when engaged on pilotage duty may in addition to the signals prescribed in paragraph (a), (b) or [(g) | (f)] of this Rule sound an identity signal consisting of four short blasts.
(k) The following vessels shall not be required to sound signals as prescribed in paragraph (f) of this Rule when anchored in a special anchorage area designated by the Secretary:
(i) a vessel of less than 20 meters in length; and
(ii) a barge canal boat, scow, or other nondescript craft.

In restricted visibly a power driven vessel underway gives sound signal every two minutes?
One prolonged blast
In restricted visibility a power driven vessel underway gives which sound signal every two minutes?
One prolonged blast
Which of the following sound signals is required of a Power Boat that is underway but is not moving during periods of restricted visibilit?
Rules of the Road, Rule 35, Sound Signals in Restricted Visibility. (B) A power driven vessel underway but stopped and making no way through the water shall sound at intervals of not more than two minutes, two prolonged blasts in succession with an interval of about two seconds between them.
What does it mean when you hear one prolonged blast plus two short blast every 2 minutes?
Rules of the Road Rule 35 Sound Signals in Restricted Visibility/International (a) A power driven vessel making way through the water shall sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes one prolonged blast.
What sound signal indicates that a sailing vessel is underway in the fog?
One prolonged blast followed two short blasts, every two minutes, not to exceed two minutes. Rule 35-Sound Signals in restricted visibility.
You are out on the water and foggy conditions you hear one prolonged blast plus 2 short blast every two minutes what does this sound signal me?
Rules of the Road. Rule 35, Sound Signals in Restricted Visibility. (C) A vessel not under command, a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver, a vessel constrained by her draft, a sailing vessel, a vessel engaged in fishing, and a vessel engaged in towing or pushing another vessel SHALL, sound at intervals of not more than two minutes three blast in succession, namely one prolonged followed by two short blast.
During foggy conditions what does one prolonged blast every two minutes mean?
Foggy conditions....a case of restricted visibility... according to International Regulations for Preventing Collision at Sea Rule 35... "A Power driven vessel making way through the water shall sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes one prolonged blast." So hearing a prolonged blast every 2 mins in restricted visibility we can deduce that its a power driven vessel making way through water.
What sound means a vessel is underway in fog?
There are several sound signals for a vessel underway in restricted visbility.A power drivel vessel underway, making way- 1 PROLONGED Blast (4-6 seconds duration) Not to exceed every two minutes.A power driven vessel underway NOT making way-2 PROLONGED every 2 minutes, not exceed two minutes.A vessel not under command, a vessel restricted in maneuverability, a vessel towing, a vessel engaged in fishing, a sailing vessel & a vessel constrained by her draft (International only) 1 PROLONGED blast followed by two short blast (duration about 1 second per short blast) every two minutes, not to exceed two minutes.A MANNED vessel being towed shall sound 1 PROLONGED followed by 3 SHORT blasts every two minute, not to exceed two minutes.See the link provided for the International and Inland Navigational Rules of the Road. Rule 35.for power driven vessels over 12meters it's one long blast every 2 minutes
You are out on the water in foggy conditions. You hear one prolonged blast every two minutes. What does this sound signal mean?
I am a power-driven vessel underway. Sound signals let other boaters know where you are located during periods of restricted visibility, such as extreme fog. If you hear the fog signal of a vessel you cannot see, slow to a minimum speed until you are sure there is not a risk of collision. One prolonged blast at intervals of not more than two minutes is the signal used by power-driven vessels when underway.

What is the meaning of 3 long and 1 short on a ships horn?
There are particular sound signals that are to be used when you first get underway. One prolonged blast signifies that you are about to get underway. If you are going to make way in reverse, you need to signal an additional 3 short blasts.
When a Sailboat is underway in the fog what sound signal should you here?
One prolonged blast plus two short blasts every two minutes
