🔍 Key Concepts

• Wildcat (anchor windlass) brake function and how a band brake creates holding force • What happens when brake lining thickness decreases (less friction, more heat, less leverage) • Difference between brake failure effects vs. engine or clutch problems

💭 Think About

• Think about the main job of the wildcat brake when the anchor is walked out or held at a short stay. If the lining is badly worn, how does that affect its ability to do that job? • Which of the options directly relates to the component that is actually wearing out (the brake band lining) rather than something driven further up the system (engine, clutch)? • If the lining is thin and has less friction, what happens when you try to hold or control the anchor under load—does it grab better or worse?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice clearly describes a change in braking performance rather than something happening to the engine or clutch. • Check which options describe an immediate, dramatic event versus a gradual loss of control or holding power. • Ask: if the brake lining is worn, do we expect the anchor to act more controlled or less controlled when you apply the brake? Pick the option that matches that idea.
