🔍 Key Concepts

• How a gyro-pilot (autopilot) keeps a vessel on a set heading • The role of rudder movement in correcting for yaw (swinging off course) in different sea states • What kind of adjustment you make to handle sloppy, rolling, or following seas without constantly overshooting the heading

💭 Think About

• Which control would relate directly to how much and how often the rudder moves to correct the heading? • In rough seas, do you want the automatic steering to respond very sharply to every small movement, or more smoothly? Which control name best matches that idea? • Look at each choice: which one sounds like a real mechanical/electronic adjustment on an autopilot system, rather than a vague description of conditions?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option refers to how the rudder linkage or motion is taken up or adjusted in an automatic steering system • Eliminate any answers that sound like made‑up terms rather than real autopilot controls • Ask: which control would you change when the vessel starts hunting or weaving around the set course because of heavy seas?
