Overview
The MD72RDI is a NMEA-compliant, three-window Panoramic Rudder Angle Indicator with a 250 mm diameter, offering a clear and easily readable display of rudder angle from any position on the bridge. Each display window features an analogue scale with 5° graduations, ranging from 45° Port to 45° Starboard. The unit is housed in a durable aluminium alloy enclosure, equipped with a dimmer control on the rear, for adjusting the background and pointer lighting.
Compact and sturdy, the MD72RDI provides an ideal panoramic rudder angle indication solution for spaces where space is limited.
It can be deckhead mounted directly, or with the included VESA bracket for a fine-tuned, angled adjustment, and is finished in a sleek jet-black powder-coat to match other marine navigation equipment.
The MD72RDI: Versatile, easy to install, and simple to maintain.
