inboard engined boats & sailboats
The Universal Inboard Installation Kit can be fitted to mechanically steered inboard
engined boats with access to a quadrant or tiller or smaller sailboats. It is recom-
mended for use on vessels with a maximum speed of 44 mph.
The installation kit allows the second steering cable for the Type R drive to be fitted
to the boat’s steering quadrant or tiller.
B7a Compatibility
The MDRESYS-E kit is suitable for use on most sailboats and power boats with
mechanical steering less than 32ft (9.75m) in length and with a displacement of not
more than 13,200lbs (6,000Kg).
In all cases, the primary steering system must be capable of being back-driven with
a torque of less than 105in-lb (12Nm). If the amount of force required to maintain
course is greater than this, then the Type R drive is not suitable.
