Ruddermaster
Ruddermaster – Compact, Reliable Rudder Angle Indicator for Smarter Steering
The Raritan Ruddermaster offers fast, accurate visual feedback of rudder angle position, helping boaters stay in full control—whether cruising, docking, or navigating in tight or variable conditions. Designed to simplify steering decisions and eliminate guesswork, this analog rudder angle indicator is a compact, dependable tool that improves your situational awareness and helps ensure a smoother ride.
At its core, the Ruddermaster system includes a durable sending unit, a precision calibration module, and a responsive analog display meter. As the rudder turns, the system immediately communicates the new angle to the helm display, showing you in real time how far your rudder is from dead center. This instant feedback allows for fine course corrections and more efficient turns—particularly helpful in docking situations or when operating in strong wind or current.
Whether you steer manually or use an autopilot, the Ruddermaster enhances your ability to interpret and respond to rudder movements. It’s especially useful for sailboats and trawlers, where rudder angle changes can dramatically impact tracking, and for sportfishers or coastal cruisers making tight maneuvers. The analog display is easy to read and does not require complex electronics—making it a trusted solution even in low-power or backup navigation situations.
The unit is available in multiple styles, including splash-proof displays for open helm stations and repeater units for flybridge or auxiliary stations. It installs easily into most standard dashboards and interfaces with common steering systems without the need for significant rewiring or modification.
Trusted by OEM builders and serious boaters alike, the Raritan Ruddermaster is built with marine-grade components for long-term reliability in harsh environments. It's a smart, cost-effective upgrade that delivers immediate benefits in steering accuracy, vessel control, and onboard safety.
If precision and awareness matter at your helm, the Ruddermaster belongs in your navigation suite.
