The ComNav Analog Rudder Angle Indicator is a backlit 76mm (3-inch) dial gauge that shows the live position of a vessel's rudder at the helm. It's built for boaters running ComNav autopilot setups who want a direct mechanical read on steering authority without staring at a multifunction display. The round analog face reads at a glance, which matters during docking, close-quarters maneuvering, and holding a heading in a following sea. It mounts flush in a standard 3-inch gauge cutout and pairs with ComNav rudder feedback hardware, making it a clean addition to an existing dash full of marine gauges.
This is a backlit analog dial, not a digital readout, so the needle tracks rudder movement in real time as the helm or autopilot turns the wheel. The gauge measures 76mm (3 inch) in diameter and drops into a flush-mount cutout, with a water-resistant front face suited to exposed helm stations. Lighting runs on a supply voltage range of 12 to 32 volts direct current, which covers most 12-volt and 24-volt vessel electrical systems without an adapter. Per multiple authorized marine retailers, the indicator is compatible with all ComNav autopilots and rudder feedback systems, so it ties straight into a ComNav steering loop. ComNav backs the unit with a 1-year warranty, extended to 3 years when installed by an authorized dealer.
Rudder angle feedback earns its place on any boat where precise steering input counts, including trawlers, sportfishers, and sailing auxiliaries running under autopilot. Knowing exactly where the rudder sits helps you avoid over-correction during slow-speed docking and confirms the autopilot is actually doing what you commanded mid-passage. If you're building out a ComNav steering system, this gauge works alongside the matching rudder feedback hardware and control heads found in our autopilot section.

The indicator is a 76mm (3 inch) diameter gauge designed for flush mounting. It drops into a standard 3-inch gauge opening at the helm, which makes it straightforward to add alongside existing instrument gauges in the same hole pattern.
The backlight accepts a supply range of 12 to 32 volts direct current, so it works on both 12-volt and 24-volt vessel electrical systems without a separate converter. This covers the majority of recreational and commercial marine setups.
Yes. According to multiple authorized marine retailers, the analog rudder angle indicator is compatible with all ComNav autopilots and rudder feedback systems. It reads directly off the ComNav rudder feedback unit, so it integrates into an existing ComNav steering loop.
It does. The needle on the analog dial tracks the actual position of the rudder as the helm or autopilot moves it. That gives the operator a continuous mechanical read of steering authority, which is useful for docking and confirming autopilot response.
ComNav covers the indicator with a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase. That coverage extends to 3 years when the unit is installed by an authorized ComNav dealer.
