Rotary mechanical autopilot drive system. Simple, cost-effective installation on small motorboats with mechanical push-pull cable steering.
The drive unit fits standard straight shaft configurations and includes a drive motor, solenoid clutch and integrated rudder feedback function (RFB).
Data sheet
-The motor is recommended for use on boats with a maximum speed of 65 km/h (40 mph) and should not be installed on boats that may exceed this speed.
-The drive unit should not be installed on boats whose maximum motor power exceeds the maximum boat power rating indicated on the boat manufacturer's label.
- The drive unit replaces or is used in conjunction with common brands of mechanical rotary and rack-and-pinion steering units. The drive is based on the Morse 290 rotary steering unit and accepts Morse 304411 and Teleflex SSC52 rotary cables without modification. If the boat is equipped with one of the following systems: Teleflex Safe T or Teleflex Big T, Uflex T71, Uflex T73NR or Uflex T81. a cable adapter must be fitted to the cable before installing the drive.
- If the boat is fitted with a rack-and-pinion steering system (or another brand of rotary system), the drive can be used, but the steering cable must also be replaced by a Morse 304411 or Teleflex SSC52.
- The drive is designed to produce a maximum cable push/pull of 136 kg, making it suitable for the vast majority of cable-steered boats. However, some boats fitted with a push-pull cable steering system have very stiff or heavily loaded steering in one direction due to hull design and motor considerations. Generally speaking, the drive enables boats to be steered which do not require a force of 7 kg on the rim of a 35 cm diameter steering wheel to maintain a heading, equivalent to a torque of 1.2 kgm. If the input torque of the steering wheel exceeds this figure, a drive system with a hydraulic linear actuator is recommended.
- If the existing steering system is NFB (non-feedback), the drive system can be installed, but it is strongly recommended that the helmsman become formally familiar with the various operational characteristics of the new helm.
