It sounds simple, but there are some tricks to this.
Charter companies often use a floating type of line for the painter, so it will not foul the boat propeller during your maneuvers.
The sound signals for anchored vessels in or near restricted visibility are relatively straighforward. All vessels sound their bells, after which larger vessels sound their gongs. Any vessel may also use a whistle signal.
Length of sounding cable versus depth
The boat is estimated to have sunk in approximately 50 feet of water. If that is the case the length of sounding cable likely exceeded this depth.

Although this rule sounds simple it generates a lot of protests because it is often not clear whether P did in fact keep clear of S.
