🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR steering gear requirements for vessels contracted for after June 9, 1995 (look in 46 CFR Part 58 or nearby sections on steering gear) • Differences between main steering gear, auxiliary steering gear, and emergency features • Specific treatment of hydraulic steering systems, including check valves, dual power units, and rudder stops

💭 Think About

• Which options describe features that are clearly allowed or required in the regulations, and which sound more like optional or outdated practices? • Ask yourself: does having dual power units on a hydraulic system always remove the need for a separate auxiliary steering gear under post‑1995 rules? • Consider whether the CFR makes hydraulic structural rudder stops mandatory, optional, or not mentioned at all for these vessels.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR whether check valves alone are accepted as a means of steadying the rudder on hydraulic steering systems for newer vessels. • Confirm the exact wording on auxiliary steering gear: is it still required even if the main steering gear is of dual‑power hydraulic type? • Check if the CFR text explicitly states that hydraulic structural rudder stops are mandatory, or if it allows other forms of rudder stops or arrangements.

Question 1 of 20

According to the Code of Federal Regulations, which of the following statements is correct regarding the steering gear on a vessel contracted for after June 9, 1995?

On hydraulic type steering gears, a suitable arrangement of check valves in the main piping system may be considered as a means of steadying the rudder.

A separate auxiliary means of steering is not required where the main gear is of the dual power hydraulic type, having two independent pumps and connections.

Hydraulic structural rudder stops are mandatory.

All of the above.
