Question 1 of 27070

If a severe leak develops in the electro-hydraulic steering gear, which of the listed conditions could result?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Electro-hydraulic steering gear: how electrical control and hydraulic power work together to move the rudder • What happens to hydraulic pressure and oil flow if a major leak develops • Which listed components are actually part of, or directly dependent on, the steering gear system

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if a lot of hydraulic oil suddenly escapes, what happens to the system’s ability to create pressure and move the rudder? • Which answer choices describe things that are NOT normally connected to the hydraulic circuit for the steering gear? • Think about which options involve control/feedback devices versus the basic ability to transmit force to the rudder

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice directly relates to the loss of hydraulic pressure in the steering system • Identify which components (gyrocompass, six-way valve, follow-up device) are control or feedback elements, not the primary power medium • Confirm which outcome would be the most immediate and critical effect of a severe hydraulic leak on steering
