How many B-II fire extinguishers must be in the machinery space of a 75-foot long fishing vessel propelled by engines with 600 brake horsepower?

A 5
B 4
C 3
D 2
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 2. According to the regulations for fire extinguishing equipment on fishing vessels, a 75-foot long fishing vessel propelled by engines with 600 brake horsepower requires 2 B-II fire extinguishers in the machinery space. This is specified in 46 CFR 28.160, which outlines the minimum number and type of fire extinguishers required based on the length and horsepower of the vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the specific requirements for a 75-foot fishing vessel with 600 brake horsepower engines. The regulations call for 2 B-II fire extinguishers in the machinery space, not 5, 4, or 3.
