Q

When steering by hand, which of the following may be a functional input to the steering gear as a result of turning the wheel?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Steering gear systems and how the wheel movement is transmitted to the rudder • Difference between follow-up and non-follow-up (NFU) steering controls • What actually changes on the vessel when you turn the wheel by hand

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When I physically turn the wheel, what mechanical or hydraulic action happens first in the steering system? • Which choice describes a real steering control mode or function used on ships? • Does anything about "weather" directly change inside the steering gear when you move the wheel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which option refers to an actual rudder control function or mode you might see on a steering gear panel. • Verify whether "weather adjustment" is a real steering-gear input or just something the navigator considers separately. • Think about whether the wheel movement directly selects one specific function or could realistically activate multiple of the listed choices at once.
