70% to passStarting motors, generators, and any other spark producing devices shall be _______________. (small passenger vessel regulations)
A
of the alternating current type
B
mounted as high as practicable above the bilges
C
rated for at least 12 volts
D
All of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) mounted as high as practicable above the bilges. The reasoning for this is based on the small passenger vessel regulations, which require that starting motors, generators, and any other spark-producing devices be mounted as high as practicable above the bilges. This is to minimize the risk of igniting any flammable vapors that may accumulate in the bilge area. The other answer choices are not directly relevant to this specific requirement.
