The Maritronix Rudder Link remote rudder control system offers precise and effortless control of your yacht's rudder. With proportional steering or adjustable ratios depending on the rotation knob position, you can steer your boat comfortably using just one finger. This innovative system provides a new level of steering precision, eliminating the need for excessive steering wheel movements. Unlike traditional autopilots that often swing left and right at slow speeds, putting unnecessary strain on the rudder's hydraulic system, the Rudder Link ensures precise and stress-free rudder control. It helps maintain a straight course, delivering a smoother and more responsive steering experience compared to a standard steering wheel. The Rudder Link is particularly ideal for narrow lakes and channel trips, as well as slow cruising speeds. It allows you to relax at the bow of your yacht, steering effortlessly while enjoying time with family and friends. With the Rudder Link, you can steer with precision and comfort, all while taking in the stunning views around you. The Maritronix Rudder Link is not just a steering system—it’s a game-changer for yacht enthusiasts who value precision, comfort, and innovation.
Select NAV mode to navigate the boat using the built-in autopilot. By turning the knob left or right, you can change the desired heading. As you increase or decrease the degrees, you will feel haptic feedback on the rotation knob, with each degree providing a tactile bump. After entering the desired heading and releasing the knob, the boat will begin to change its heading. When the boat’s current heading matches the desired heading, the knob automatically returns to its center position. NAV mode is particularly useful for long turns when only minor heading adjustments are needed.
AUTO mode allows you to change the desired heading by turning the knob left or right. The further you turn the knob, the faster the boat will change its heading. The haptic feedback on the knob increases resistance as you turn it more.
Once you have adjusted the boat’s heading, you can release the knob. It will immediately return to its center position, and the boat will continue to control the rudders autonomously to maintain the new heading.
This mode is highly useful in everyday situations. The system keeps your course straight, eliminating the need for manual steering adjustments. Additionally, when a heading change is required, you can do it in a proportional and comfortable manner without touching the steering wheel.
MAN mode is used in docking situations. On the display, you can see the current rudder position in degrees. By turning the knob, you directly control the rudder position. To set the rudder from the center position to full left, simply turn the knob to the left, and the system will handle the adjustment for you. Both the knob and the rudder will remain in position after the knob is released.
The haptic feedback provides a magnetic attraction feel at the center, full left, and full right positions. In the positions between, the knob will remain where you set it to maintain the desired rudder position. Turning the knob offers a comfortable resistance, ensuring precise and responsive control.
