| | "FOLLOW-UP" STEERING SYSTEM | |
| | | |
| | The VETUS "Follow-Up" steering system has been derived from a type of steering that is in common use with professional inland waterways vessels. Because many pleasure craft are already equipped with a manual hydraulic steering system, this VETUS "Follow-Up" steering system can be easily added to enable remote control from any convenient position on board for boats. By simply turning the steering handle, the rudder will exactly follow the angle of the handle. Returning the handle to the mid position will also return the rudder to midships. Manual wheel steering can be resumed at any time by simply switching the system off. In principle, the VETUS "Follow-Up" steering system is suitable for boat boats of 6 - 20 metres LOA. | |
| | | |
| | | | The fixed "follow up" control handle shown here, can operate any type of hydraulic steering system fitted with an electro-hydraulic pump, by means of the control box (see drawing). It may be mounted on the dashboard, or fixed to the helmsman's seat, for example. This type of remote control may be used as the main steering device (instead of a steering wheel), or as a secondary or even third steering option. Panel dimensions: 110 x 120 mm Dimensions incl. handle: 110 x 190 mm Height: 45 mm. | |

| | This hand held "follow-up" control has the same function as the fixed control handle shown above. The control is supplied with a 3m spiralled cable with connection plug and socket. The mobile hand held control can only be used in addition to the fixed control. Dimensions control box: 258 x 114 x 52 mm. | | |

| | ELECTRIC REMOTE CONTROL STEERING | |
| | | |
| | This remote control is equipped with a rocker switch and a 3.5 metre spiralled wire with watertight plug and deck contact. Two limit switches for the hydraulic cylinder should be ordered separately. | and cheaply with an electrically operated remote control unit. With this unit the boat may be steered from virtually any point on board. A VETUS electro hydraulic pump, model EHPAR2, EHPBR2, EHPCR2, EHPD or EHPE is fitted in the hydraulic system (see diagram) and connected to the DC power supply. A hand held remote control, supplied with a spiralled wire, is then used to operate the pump in the required direction. The following components are to be ordered separately (see price list): Electro hydraulic pump, model EHPAR2, EHPBR2, EHPCR2, EHPD or EHPE (see page 51). Hydraulic fitting set for pump. Hydraulic tubing of the required length. | One or more hand held controls with spiralled wire. Two limit switches for the hydraulic cylinder. | |

| | Conventional wheel operated hydraulic steering systems can now be equipped simply | |

| | | |
| | | The hydraulic steering cylinder must as always be specified according to the rudder torque. For VETUS hydraulic cylinders, please see page 45. For a VETUS joystick steering system the following components are to be ordered separately (see price list): Electro-hydraulic pump, model EHPAR2, EHPBR2, EHPCR2, EHPD or EHPE (see page 51). Hydraulic fitting set for pump. A hydraulic steering cylinder; for example one of the VETUS models MTC30 - MTC175. Hydraulic tubing of the required length. A panel with joystick control. Two limit switches. | |
| | The main steering position of many new inland waterways vessels nowadays, features a joystick steering device. This joystick and its associated electro-hydraulic pump replaces the normal wheel operated steering pump. | |
