Raymarine Rotary Rudder Reference Transducer

Raymarine M81105 Rudder Reference Transducer is a sensor that is used with many legacy SmartPilot core packs and with the ST60 series rudder system. The device accurately measures the angle of the boat's rudder or outdrives and sends back the information to the Autopilot Course Computer or Rudder Angle Display. It is highly recommended to connect the rudder reference unit which helps to ensure optimum autopilot performance.

A Rudder Reference Transducer converts its movement information to rudder angle in +/- degrees. The more precise the rudder angle information, the more accurately the autopilot system can keep to a correct course. In addition, the Raymarine multifunction displays and instrument repeaters have the ability to read and display rudder angle information over the SeaTalk navigation network.

The Raymarine M81105 Transducer is compatible with newer i70, ST70 and ST70+ instruments on the SeaTalkng network via an iTC-5 Transducer Converter. This rudder reference transducer can be used on the Raymarine and Autohelm system and includes a 10-meter cable and mounting hardware.
