Raritan MK5 Rudder Angle Indicator

The Raritan MK5 Rudder Angle Indicator serves as a critical navigational aid for captains navigating tight slips or maintaining a steady course in heavy seas. Understanding the exact position of the steering gear is essential for preventing over-steering and ensuring safe docking maneuvers. This system provides an immediate visual reference of the rudder's orientation relative to the keel, making it a vital upgrade for both recreational yachts and commercial vessels. Now available for sale, this unit is a staple for those who demand precision at the helm.

This MK5 system utilizes a precision sending unit that tracks the physical movement of the rudder and transmits that data through a dedicated calibration box. The calibration box ensures that the signal sent to the analog gauge is accurate, allowing for fine-tuning to match the specific geometry of your vessel's steering linkage. These specifications ensure that even in high-vibration environments, the needle remains steady and readable. With its robust construction and mechanical reliability, the indicator provides real-time feedback that eliminates the guesswork often associated with hydraulic or cable steering systems.

Designed for long-term durability in harsh marine environments, the Raritan MK5 Rudder Angle Indicator is compatible with a wide range of steering configurations. Boat owners looking to buy a reliable monitoring solution will find the installation straightforward, as the system includes the necessary components to link the rudder post to the helm display.
