Veratron Rudder Angle Sensor f/ Single Station

The Veratron Rudder Angle Sensor for Single Station delivers precise steering feedback to your helm display, giving you real-time rudder position data essential for accurate navigation and autopilot integration. Whether you're running a center console, cruiser, or dedicated fishing vessel, this sensor bridges the gap between your physical rudder movement and digital navigation systems. It's the silent workhorse that keeps your autopilot tracking true and your helm operator informed of actual rudder angle—critical information when you're threading narrow channels or holding a precise course in heavy seas.

Veratron's sensor uses analog output technology to communicate rudder angle to compatible single-station displays and autopilot systems, converting mechanical rudder movement into electrical signals your navigation equipment can interpret. The compact, corrosion-resistant design handles the saltwater environment, with a nominal 0.5 lb weight that adds minimal load to your rudder system. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic marine wiring, and the sensor mounts directly to the rudder stock or steering mechanism, capturing every degree of movement with reliability that experienced boaters have trusted for years.

This sensor is essential for anyone running modern marine electronics, especially if your autopilot requires true rudder feedback for stable operation. Retrofit applications benefit greatly, as the single-station design simplifies wiring compared to multi-station setups. Before purchasing, verify compatibility with your specific helm display and autopilot system—most Veratron-equipped vessels operate seamlessly, but checking your MFD manual ensures proper integration. Installation typically requires minimal deck penetration and works with both hydraulic and mechanical steering systems used in recreational and commercial vessel classes.
