A they have a self-contained fuel system and are installed on an open deck

B it is not practicable to supply water to the engine

C they are rated at not more than 4.5 horsepower

D All of the above

AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) they have a self-contained fuel system and are installed on an open deck. The regulations for the U.S. Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations allow air-cooled gasoline auxiliary engines on vessels not more than 65 feet in length, carrying not more than 12 passengers, if the engine has a self-contained fuel system and is installed on an open deck. This is to mitigate the fire risk associated with such engines. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully meet the regulatory requirements for the use of air-cooled gasoline engines on these types of vessels.
