Question 1660Deck General70% to pass

Starting motors, generators, and any other spark producing devices shall be _______________. (small passenger vessel regulations)

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.
