🔍 Key Concepts

• Diesel engine governors – what they do to control speed and prevent overload • How a mechanical fuel rack / fuel control is physically limited to protect the engine • The difference between a safety limit device and normal governing action (proportional, isochronous, etc.)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when an engine is about to be overloaded, what exactly must be limited – the fuel quantity or the governor’s sensitivity? • Which of the answer choices describes a hard, physical limit on how far the fuel control can go, rather than a description of how the governor behaves dynamically? • On a licensed vessel, what device would the maker and regulations rely on to be simple, predictable, and tamper‑resistant for protecting the engine from excessive load?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option clearly represents a positive mechanical stop on maximum fuel setting. • Eliminate any options that mainly describe control theory behavior (how smoothly the governor responds) instead of maximum-load protection. • Verify in current regulations or maker’s guidance which feature is specifically cited as a required safeguard against engine overload on diesel propulsion engines.
