Faria Rudder Angle Sender Single Station - Standard or Floating Ground

The Faria Rudder Angle Sender Single Station is a precision marine instrument designed to transmit real-time rudder position data to a single rudder angle gauge. This device is essential for vessel operators who require accurate helm feedback, whether commanding commercial fishing vessels, naval craft, or high-performance watercraft where rudder awareness directly impacts safety and handling. Built by Faria Beede Instruments, a trusted manufacturer in marine instrumentation, this sender unit bridges the critical communication gap between your vessel's steering system and the helm display.

The sender operates by monitoring rudder angle in real time and converting that mechanical position into an electrical signal transmitted to your gauge—enabling operators to maintain precise helm control without constant visual confirmation of rudder movement. Available in both standard and floating ground configurations, this unit accommodates diverse marine electrical architectures and installation scenarios. The compact 4 x 4 x 4 inch form factor and 6 lb weight make it suitable for retrofit installations and new builds alike, while the rugged construction withstands the corrosive saltwater marine environment and vibration typical of active vessel operations.

This single-station sender is ideal for operators managing vessels with straightforward helm configurations or those upgrading legacy gauge systems to modern Faria instrumentation. Professional mariners, boat builders, and marine technicians rely on this sender unit for reliable, repeatable rudder angle reporting—critical in confined waters, docking maneuvers, and emergency helm response. Compatibility with standard Faria gauge installations ensures seamless integration into existing marine electrical systems without extensive rewiring or system redesign.
