🔍 Key Concepts

• Pusher-type azimuthing thruster arrangement relative to the hull and gear unit • Meaning of "abaft" (behind, toward the stern) and "wake" (disturbed water flow behind an object) • What an azimuthing angle of 0° represents ("straight ahead" alignment)

💭 Think About

• Visualize a side view of the thruster and gear unit when the vessel is making way ahead: which component meets the water flow first, and which one sits in the disturbed water? • Think about the word "pusher": which part actually pushes the vessel through the water, and therefore must be furthest aft in the flow direction? • Compare each choice’s description of what is directly abaft of what, and decide which setup would give the best thrust efficiency for a pusher arrangement.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear which item is forward and which is aft in each option (gear unit vs propeller). • Confirm which component would logically be in the wake (the one located behind, in disturbed water). • Double‑check that at 0° azimuth, the thruster is aligned like a conventional propeller pushing straight ahead, and picture how that would look.

Question 1 of 20

With respect to a "pusher" type azimuthing thruster, what statement is true?

With an azimuthing angle of 0°, the gear unit is directly abaft of and in the wake of the azimuthing thruster's propeller.

With an azimuthing angle of 0°, the gear unit is directly abaft of the azimuthing thruster's propeller, but the azimuthing thruster's propeller is in the wake of the gear unit.

With an azimuthing angle of 0°, the azimuthing thruster's propeller is directly abaft of the gear unit, but the gear unit is in the wake of the azimuthing thruster's propeller.

With an azimuthing angle of 0°, the azimuthing thruster's propeller is directly abaft of and in the wake of the gear unit.
