SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The
5000 is a modular system
that can be built up from a minimum number of
units to match the individual
requirements of a wide range of sailing and
power vessels. The rudder drive system may be
chosen from a range of rotary, linear and
hydraulic drive units to best suit the vessel’s
particular steering system.
The most basic installation (Fig. 1) consists
of a control unit inter-connected by a pluggable
cable system to a drive unit. This installation
would be suitable for a motor vessel with a
single enclosed steering position, and where no
requirement exists for remote control facilities.
Hand-held remote control unit type DO73 may
be plugged directly into the Control Unit
auxiliary socket.

A simple remote control installation is
illustrated in Fig. 2. The auxiliary control unit
repeats the basic working controls of the main
control unit and is suitable for extending
autopilot control to a secondary steering
position. Alternatively, in the case of a sailing
yacht for example, the auxiliary control unit
provides a watertight cockpit control enabling
the control unit to be mounted in a protected
position below deck.
The full remote control system (Fig. 3)
provides the addition of a hand-held remote
control unit.
