Description

For ideal operation of your sailboat autopilot, the rudder angle sensor is an essential element which analyzes the movements of your rudder.

This sensor repeats the rudder angle to the nearest degree in order to give very precise information to the autopilot. This improves course keeping and reaction time, guaranteeing you precise and safe navigation.

In addition, the position of the helm will be reported on your displays, useful information when maneuvering your vessel.

Designed with maximum reliability and precision in mind, this product uses a waterproof potentiometer as well as a play suppression device allowing you to navigate serenely.
