Faria Chesapeake Black 2" Rudder Angle Indicator Gauge

The Faria Chesapeake Black 2" Rudder Angle Indicator Gauge is essential navigation equipment for any serious helmsman who demands precision steering feedback in all water conditions. This compact dial instrument provides real-time visibility into your rudder's position, letting you know exactly how many degrees you're turned relative to center—critical information for autopilot troubleshooting and maintaining course accuracy.

Built by Faria Beede Instruments, a brand trusted by commercial and recreational boaters since 1963, this gauge features a 2-inch dial face with a black Chesapeake finish that reads clearly in bright sunlight. Rudder angle indicators work by receiving electronic feedback from your steering system's transducer; as the wheel turns, the gauge needle responds proportionally, displaying the actual rudder angle in degrees on both sides of center.

Cruising sailors, charter captains, and commercial operators benefit most from this gauge, as it enhances maneuverability and course accuracy in challenging conditions. Its standard 2-inch panel cutout size makes retrofit installation straightforward on most vessels, ensuring that you can easily integrate it into your existing instrument panel.
