70% to passHydraulic starters are installed on many lifeboat diesel engines instead of comparable air start systems, because _______________.
Ahydraulic starters are the least expensive of all starting systems
Bthe system does not require high-pressure piping
Chydraulic systems turn diesel engines at higher rates of speed than air starters
Dthe system can be manually recharged
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) the system can be manually recharged. Hydraulic starters are often used on lifeboat diesel engines instead of air start systems because the hydraulic system can be manually recharged, allowing the lifeboat engine to be started even if the main power source is unavailable. This provides an added level of redundancy and reliability for the lifeboat's propulsion system. The other answer choices do not fully capture the key advantage of hydraulic starters in this application.
