In simplicity, the hunting gear is a control system to keep the Rudders set at the desired angle. If a wave pushes the rudder over a bit then the hunting gear will correct this. On the same hand, when you give a helm order on the bridge, the Telemotor sends a signal to the hunting gear which then sets the rudders to the angle required.
More info on the site below, with diagrams.

Look towards the bottom of the boat.
....towards the blunt end!
