Raymarine Mechanical Linear Drive

Stay on the right course

The Drive unit is the part that interfaces with your vessel's steering system to keep you on the right course. Raymarine has a broad range of drive units to match almost any type of steering system.

These Raymarine Mechanical Linear Drives are the most commonly used drive types for sailing vessels. Raymarine mechanical linear drives provide powerful thrust, fast hard-over times and quiet operation. Mounted below decks, the linear drive moves the rudder directly by pushing the tiller arm or a rudder quadrant. A linear drive unit connects to the rudder stock via an independent tiller arm. Accessory fittings from your steering manufacturer may be required. Must be able to back-drive steering system from the rudder.

Raymarine Mechanical Linear Drives Features:

• Designed for boats with existing mechanical steering systems
  
• The mechanical linear drive provides powerful thrust, fast hardover times and quiet operation.
  
• Low backdrive force, to minimize the drive's effect on the boat's steering when the autopilot is in standby
  
• A powerful electric motor controlled by an electromagnetic fail-safe clutch, using a high tensile belt drive and epicyclic gearbox
  
• High performance for minimum current consumption
