Question 1079 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) Air, hydraulic, electric. The three basic types of engine starters used on vessels are air, hydraulic, and electric. Air starters use compressed air to crank the engine, hydraulic starters use pressurized hydraulic fluid, and electric starters use an electric motor to spin the engine. This covers the primary engine starting methods found on marine vessels, making A the correct choice. The other options are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the three basic starter types. Option B mentions a "water" starter, which is not a common marine engine starter type. Options C and D include incorrect starter types like "metered" and "emergency" which are not standard starter classifications.
