Q

The backup system on an electric start survival craft is a __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Survival craft engine starting methods required under SOLAS and 46 CFR for lifeboats and rescue boats • The difference between primary electric starting and a required secondary / manual means • What kind of backup start will still work if the battery or wiring fails

💭 Think About

• If the electric starter or battery is completely dead, which option listed would still allow you to start the engine? • Which choice is commonly required so that no stored electrical or compressed energy is needed to crank the engine? • Think about real lifeboat drills: what physical action do crew members practice for starting the engine if the electric start does not work?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which backup method is specifically mentioned in SOLAS / 46 CFR for survival craft starting arrangements • Eliminate any options that still depend on electricity or stored pressure to operate • Choose the option that a person can operate purely by muscle power, with no outside power source
