STEERING-QUESTIONS NAME:
1. Match the following hydraulic steering systems with their descriptions:
a.
Direct System ....... 1 The movement of the steering wheel serves
only to control the power
hydraulics.
b.
Indirect System ....... 2 The movement of the steering wheel supplies
the hydraulic power to
move the rudder.
2.

and at the same time may be arranged to reduce side thrust on the rudder post!”
TRUE
FALSE
3. Describe two different types of cables
which can be used for cable steering systems.

3.
Describe two different types of cables which can be used for cable
steering systems.
Flexible multi-strand pull
only cable.
Semi-rigid push-pull sheathed cable.
4.
What is the disadvantage of using flexible multi-stand steel cable
for steering systems?
Pulleys and rollers have to be mounted
to run the cable in suitable areas, and to allow the rudder to be pulled in
either direction.
5. With direct hydraulic steering, the pressure relief valve closes when large seas hit the rudder. FALSE
6.
How can hydraulic components be protected against contaminants in the
hydraulic oil?
By the use of appropriate
strainers and filters.
7.
Describe two maintenance checks on a steering system.
Resevoir fluid level……for leaks
