Type R mechanical remote drive - outboard systems

SUITABLE FOR MOST YAMAHA, MERCURY MARINER & SUZUKI ENGINESINNOVATIVE DESIGNFitting an autopilot to outboard engined boats used to be a major problem, but not any more. The Type RRemote Drive can be located in a convenient location away from the exposed outboard engine and theoptional integrated rudder feedback unit solves the often difficult problem of attaching a feedback unit tothe complicated outboard engine geometry.

EASY TO FITThe remote drive attaches to the outboard engine via a second steering cable (6ft/1.8m cable included -longer cables are available as separate accessories). The installation kit supplied fixes to the steeringcylinder using existing fittings - no additional holes need to be drilled.
