🔍 Key Concepts

• Electro-hydraulic steering systems and how hydraulic power gets directed to move the rudder • The function of a multi-way directional control valve (like a 4-way or 6-way valve) in hydraulic circuits • Difference between rudder control components and pump control/changeover components

💭 Think About

• Think about what actually needs to be done with hydraulic oil when you want to change which pump is supplying the steering gear • Ask yourself: is a six-way valve more likely used to mimic steering wheel motion, to control pump stroke, to switch fluid paths between pumps, or to hold a mechanical linkage in contact? • Consider which parts of the steering system handle mechanical linkage (like Rapson slide and rudder stock) versus which parts handle hydraulic flow routing

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option deals specifically with directing or rerouting hydraulic fluid between different sources or paths • Check which choices describe mechanical linkage functions rather than hydraulic flow control — a six-way valve is a hydraulic component, not a mechanical brace • Confirm in your notes how steering systems change from one pump to another without losing pressure or control of the rudder
