Ruddermaster Panoramic Meter
Ruddermaster Panoramic Meter – Real-Time Rudder Angle Display for Safer Steering
Take the guesswork out of helm control with the Raritan Ruddermaster Panoramic Meter, a high-visibility rudder angle indicator designed to improve safety, responsiveness, and confidence at the helm. Whether you’re docking in tight quarters, fine-tuning your course under sail, or monitoring autopilot response during offshore cruising, the Ruddermaster gives you instant, real-time feedback on rudder position—all at a glance.
At the heart of the system is a durable sending unit that tracks your rudder’s movement with pinpoint accuracy. It feeds data to a compact calibration box, which then drives the wide-angle Ruddermaster display—showing rudder position in real time with crisp, easy-to-read markings. The panoramic arc display allows for visibility from multiple angles and lighting conditions, so you’ll always know exactly how far off-center your rudder is, even in challenging conditions or at night.
This system is more than just a convenience—it’s a serious navigational aid. When maneuvering in marinas, executing tight turns, or operating in shifting currents or high winds, the Ruddermaster enhances steering control and allows for quicker, more deliberate corrections. It also functions as an effective feedback tool when using autopilot, giving you confidence that your vessel is responding properly.
Available in multiple panel styles, including splash-proof models for open-helm installations and remote repeater options for dual-station steering, the Ruddermaster fits a wide range of boat types and steering configurations. It integrates seamlessly with existing helm electronics and requires only minimal wiring for installation.
Trusted by experienced skippers and OEM builders alike, the Raritan Ruddermaster Panoramic Meter is built to withstand the marine environment with precision engineering and corrosion-resistant materials. Whether you operate a sailboat, trawler, sportfisher, or cruising yacht, this essential rudder angle display delivers real-time steering awareness that enhances both safety and control at sea.
