New, More Precise, Electronically-Controlled Power Steering from Twin Disc

Twin Disc’s new E-STEER power steering should make steering easier, less tiring and more precise on cruising powerboats. This state-of-the-art control connects the helm electronically to hydraulic-powered rudders, and reacts immediately to changes in speed with adaptive resistance. As speed increases, the helm becomes finer and more agile; Twin Disc says it’s like driving a luxury car. When you throttle back, the wheel is light and highly responsive. Adaptive resistance makes driving easier since the wheel doesn’t react to every single rudder movement. Driving becomes smooth and vibration-free; it’s easier to hold a steady course, particularly in a choppy sea.

The new E-STEER unit is self-contained and housed within the helm console. It’s easy to install on new builds or refits. Then you don’t have to worry about checking reservoirs, ram seals, fittings and yards of hydraulic lines that can leak. Instead, wires connect the wheel and DC-powered hydraulic cylinders, providing instant, precise steering controls.
