Type R Applications- Stern Drives

Suitable for most Mercruiser and Volvo Penta Systems

The Type R Remote Drive System makes sterndrive installations easy for both single or dual engine systems. The installation kit simply clamps to the steering cylinder with no drilling or cutting required. Two packs are available to suit the most common Mercruiser and Volvo-Penta sterndrive systems.

Type R Applications - Outboard Engines

Suitable for Yamaha, Mercury Mariner & Suzuki Engines

The Type R Remote Drive can be located in a convenient location away from the exposed outboard engine and the optional integrated rudder feedback unit solves the often difficult problem of attaching a feedback unit to the complicated outboard engine geometry.

Type R Applications - Inboard Engines

Ideal for inboard engined boats with mechanical steering up to 32ft (10m) - 13,200lbs (6,000kg)
