AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) vane type steering gear. The illustration GS-0116 depicts a vane type steering gear, which is a type of steering mechanism commonly used on vessels. The vanes or blades within the steering gear unit convert the rotational motion of the steering wheel into a force that moves the rudder, allowing the operator to steer the vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) is describing a component of a crosshead engine, not a steering gear. C) is describing a mount for a diesel engine, not a steering gear. D) is describing a mechanical shaft seal, not a steering gear.
