Question 203 Deck General

70% to pass

When steering by hand, which of the following may be a functional input to the steering gear as a result of turning the wheel?

A Rudder adjustment
B Weather adjustment
C Non-follow-up
D All the above may be activated
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Non-follow-up. When steering a vessel by hand, turning the wheel will result in a non-follow-up signal being sent to the steering gear. This means that the steering gear will continue to move the rudder in the desired direction as long as the wheel is turned, without any feedback or automatic adjustment. The other options are incorrect - rudder adjustment and weather adjustment are not direct results of turning the wheel when using manual steering.
