In the hydraulic anchor windlass system illustrated, pressure relief of the main pressure piping is provided by __________. Illustration GS-0160

Correct Answer: Option C — L

Component L represents the system relief valve in the hydraulic circuit. In accordance with standard hydraulic system design, the relief valve is positioned to bypass fluid from the high-pressure side back to the reservoir, protecting the pump and piping from over-pressurization during windlass operation or stall conditions.
