🔍 Key Concepts

• Hydraulic hose installation best practices in marine systems • Effects of twisting, abrasion, and tension on hose safety and lifespan • Why manufacturers often recommend multiple precautions at the same time

💭 Think About

• For each option (A, B, C), ask yourself: Could ignoring this point realistically cause hose damage or a dangerous failure? • Think about how hydraulic hoses move, flex, and vibrate on a vessel. Which conditions are most harmful to the hose over time? • Consider whether good marine practice usually focuses on just one risk factor or on several (twist, rubbing, tension) together.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether twisting a hose can weaken it or cause internal damage under pressure. • Consider if rubbing or chafing against structure requires extra protection in marine installations. • Check whether hoses should be pulled tight, or if a small amount of slack is normally recommended to allow for movement and vibration.
