🔍 Key Concepts

• Steering gear inspection at sea vs. in port – what changes when the system is under load and moving? • Immediate safety risks – which condition, if missed, could quickly lead to loss of steering or serious damage? • Difference between routine operational checks and critical condition checks during a sea‑going inspection.

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when the ship is already at sea and using the steering gear, which problem would you MOST want to detect early before it becomes an emergency? • Which choice refers to something that, if it were wrong, might be noticed during normal bridge operations anyway (for example, during a steering gear test before departure)? • Which options deal with set-up/position of equipment versus signs of developing failure while the gear is running?.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option points to a developing mechanical or hydraulic failure rather than a calibration or set-up issue. • Consider which check would be harder for bridge watchstanders to detect from their normal instruments alone. • Eliminate any options that relate mainly to initial configuration or calibration done in port or during scheduled drills, not during routine underway inspection.
