The MD61 Rudder Angle Transmitter is a Rudder Angle Transducer for providing steering indication. Mounted in the steering compartment, it transmits the vessel’s Rudder Angle to a Marine Data Rudder Angle Indicator. The input shaft is mechanically linked to the vessel’s rudder stock by a fully adjustable linkage rod (supplied).
The MD61 has dual outputs:
- Digital NMEA 0183 and
- Analogue Variable Voltage (via 5 KΩ geared potentiometer
The Rudder Angle Transmitter is fully sealed and housed in a robust aluminium alloy enclosure. Finished in Window Grey semi-gloss paint to complement other marine navigation equipment.
