Steering Gear Control - Follow Up (FU) Steering System

.

The full Follow-up Control Lever is equipped with a detent in mid-handle position; the straight-ahead position. Moving the control lever to either port or starboard will cause the rudder to follow proportionately. The 7171-SW Full Follow-up Control Lever, in particular, can be used as a main electronic control station and is ideally suited for high-speed craft. If equipped with two potentiometers, it could be used for catamaran steering with split electronics rudder demand, allowing the rudders to move simultaneously and always remain synchronized. It can also be used for conventional craft with one potentiometer for rudder positioning. A second potentiometer could be used to show rudder demand. The star wheel can be equipped with push buttons or switches at the end of the grips for special applications.
