Question 192 Deck General

The correct answer is D) Weather adjustment. When the gyro-pilot is used for steering, the weather adjustment control is used to compensate for varying sea conditions. This control allows the gyro-pilot to adjust the steering to account for the effects of wind, waves, and current on the vessel's course. By adjusting the weather control, the gyro-pilot can maintain the desired course despite changing environmental factors. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly address the specific control used to compensate for varying sea conditions when the gyro-pilot is engaged. Lost motion adjustment, rudder control, and sea control are not the primary means of compensation in this scenario.
