during navigation. Control system between bridge and gear is usually hydraulic, but could be electrical as well. Testing and
maintenance of the gear are usually done in the port. For hydraulic system, it is important to check for oil leaking, and air presence
in the system and oil level in the system. Preparation of the steering gear must be coordinated with officers on the bridge,
synchronization of rudder movement from left end to right end position must be also checked.
