🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between the electric drive motor and the hydraulic pump in a windlass system • What happens to hydraulic pressure when there is insufficient fluid supply to the pump • Difference between electrical faults and hydraulic faults when the motor is already running properly

💭 Think About

• If the electric motor is operating properly, which components or systems can you reasonably rule out first? • For a hydraulic system, what is the most basic requirement before the pump can develop any pressure? • Among the options, which action directly addresses the hydraulic side of the system rather than re-checking the electrical side or the mechanical brake?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that the question states the electric motor is operating properly, so voltage and overload protection are likely not the first suspects. • Ask yourself: can a hydraulic pump build pressure if it has no or low fluid at its suction? • Distinguish between a hydraulic supply issue and a mechanical braking issue when the motor is already turning.
