Newer design with 30% lower back-drive force reducing friction when hand steering.
Motors can be removed for servicing without requiring oil bleeding and/or replacement.
New quick release mechanism makes removal/installation fast and easy.
Lower overll profile-only 115mm high.
If using the Linear Feedback sensor, it is necessary to use the new part SEN-RUD-LF2 which has a shorter overall length than the SEN-RUD-LFB.
High power, efficient drive units for maximum power with minimum consumption
Ram drives allow the Power Steer mode on the Pilot to be used in cases of manual steering failure
Fully Integrated (T1 and T2 units) hydraulic system, no external hoses, reservoirs etc.
T3 drives have a separate hydraulic pump to allow for greater mounting flexibility on this larger cylinder
Type 4 systems utilise a constant running hydraulic pump and two steering cylinders for the best compromise of performance, reliability and efficiency on larger vessels. (For a detailed drawing of the Type 4 Ram System please contact B&G)
Yacht size range up to approximately. 100ft (30m).
Always remember to use the fully laden displacement of your boat when selecting a pilot.
Typically a yacht fully provisioned with the water and fuel tanks full, can be as much as 20% above the designed displacement.
If your boat falls between two pilot types, choose the larger pilot type - an under rated pilot may not be able to perform adequately when you need it most.
If in doubt, please check with an authorised B&G Dealer.
If you are using a Ram, Rotary drive or existing drive unit from another manufacturer, these will, in most cases, be compatible with B&G units. To check this however, please call your local B&G Dealer or call us directly.
