The rudder for stern-drive and outboard-powered boats.
Optimum manoeuvrability and greatly improved directional stability at low speeds.

Greatly improved steering at low speeds
At last there is a definitive, effective solution to the well-known problem of poor manoeuvrability at low speeds that affects most outboard-powered and stern-drive boats.

 

The dual rudder blades behind the propeller provide additional steering capacity, which results in optimum manoeuvrability, even with the engine switched off, both ahead or astern. In addition to surprisingly good steering, above all in marinas, locks, narrow waterways and during manoeuvres to get into and out of berths, Ruddersafe’s greatly improved directional stability also helps to reduce fuel consumption.

With Ruddersafe you do not need to make constant directional adjustments at low speeds, which makes cruising more pleasant and relaxed.

At high speeds the pressure on the two trim planes lifts the two rudderblades out of the water, thus avoiding oversteer and loss of speed. An automatic spring mechanism returns the dual rudder to its original position as soon as the speed and water pressure have reduced.

A further advantage of Ruddersafe is the protection it provides when going astern. This prevents propeller damage and reduces to a minimum the risk of bathers coming into contact with the propeller.

The dual rudder can be attached to the engine cavitation plate without the need for any special tools or for the drilling of holes.

Ruddersafe's corrosion-resistant, rustproof materials require only minimal maintenance. Lubrication of the tilting mechanism during normal engine maintenance is adequate to ensure many years of problem-free sailing.
