Question 1329 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) hydraulic pressure is within the specified range. When inspecting a survival craft, it is important to ensure that the hydraulic pressure is within the specified range. This is because the hydraulic system is responsible for operating critical functions of the survival craft, such as the deployment of the life raft or the release of the sea anchor. Maintaining the proper hydraulic pressure is essential for ensuring the proper functioning of these systems and the overall safety of the survival craft. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the inspection of the survival craft's hydraulic system. Checking the deployment of the sea anchor (A), the drainage of the hydraulic starting system (B), and the locking of the steering controls (D) are important tasks, but they do not specifically address the hydraulic pressure, which is the critical factor in this question.
