🔍 Key Concepts

• Hydraulic steering gear: which cylinders extend and which retract to move the rudder to starboard (right full rudder) from amidships • How pressure lines and return lines are drawn in the diagram (solid vs paired lines going to opposite ends of each cylinder) • The fact that the rudder stock and rams move together – if you know the direction the rudder must move, you can trace back which cylinder ends must be pressurized on the piston faces

💭 Think About

• From the amidships position, to get right full rudder, in which direction must the rudder stock at the bottom of the figure rotate, and which ram (left or right) must push vs pull to make that happen? • Once you know which ram must push, look upward in the diagram: which upper cylinder is connected (by piping and mechanical linkages) so that pressure on its piston face will cause that ram to extend in the correct direction? • Are you looking at the end of the cylinder where the piston rod comes out, or the opposite end? Which side is considered the piston face that will receive full pressure?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which way is FWD on the drawing and identify the starboard side of the steering gear before deciding • Trace the hydraulic lines from the power unit to each labeled cylinder; note which line would be the pressure line during a right rudder command and which would be the return • Make sure you are thinking about the power stroke side (full piston face) of the correct cylinder, not the rod side or the opposite cylinder that would be venting or at lower pressure
