REMOTES

Electric Steering Wheel: For supreme power steering, built and designed to operate through the AP-4. A distinct advantage in using an electric steering wheel is the elimination of hydraulic pipes from the helm position to the tiller position.

Steering Lever: A necessity on any work vessel where the rudder position is required to be positively selected quickly.

Remotes: TMQ can provide hand held or panel remote control to suit your individual needs. Hand remotes provide a "wander" facility for changing the preset course or selecting power steering modes. Fixed panels are used as a second station or fly bridge control.

Drive Units: TMQ can supply a range of reversing pumps or continuous flow pump sets with directional solenoid valves.

Standard Components:

Control unit, compass sensor with 5m cable, rudder feedback unit with 14m of cable, and mounting hardware.
