Hydraulic fluid condition and system contamination

Verify hydraulic oil filter inspection/replacement per scheduled intervals; check fluid level; test for water content and particulate contamination; monitor condition sensors for early failure indicators

Rudder stock bearing wear and lubrication failure

Inspect integrated bronze radial bearings and rudder carrier for wear; verify system oil lubrication circulation; check for excessive wear on rudder stock (diameter tolerance)

SOLAS compliance and emergency steering capability

Test rudder movement through full range (35° hard-over to 30° in 28 seconds at full sea speed); verify dual independent hydraulic power unit operation; confirm emergency compartment manual steering procedures and changeover within 45 seconds

Hydraulic line integrity and external leakage

Visually inspect all hydraulic lines, connections and fittings for leaks; verify pressure gauge readings; check hose routing for chafing or abrasion; perform pressure relief valve testing
