Year end promotion: Order the remote option with either 1 or 2 remotes with your new Pelagic system and we'll include a 2nd or 3rd remote for free.
This system combines the Pelagic Heavy-Duty Electronics package with the Compact Pelagic Compact Hydraulic Linear Actuator. The actuator and rudder sensor are manufactured in the UK and are the same offered by our more expensive competition.
Suitable for boats up to 45 feet (13.5m), it is a great replacement for your under-powered wheel pilots. Its small footprint and integrated design provide the power and reliability of a hydraulic system without external hoses and reservoirs. Ideal for boats where below decks space is limited.
Designed for ease of installation, the unit is supplied with a quick release mount, tiller bolt (for attaching to quadrant or similar) and fitting kit.
The unit includes the rudder reference/feedback unit that mounts directly onto the actuator, simplifying installation.
The control head can be mounted in 4 different orientations; stern facing (the most popular and shown in the above photo), bow facing, port facing or starboard facing. This is the direction that the buttons on the control panel face. To simplify installation, we preset this at the factory but you can easily change this once onboard without having to recalibrate the system. When placing your order, specify your preferred orientation.
The black drive box is designed for higher amperage systems and includes temperature sensing, status lights and heatsink.
