The oar in turn is a servo-device for turning the boat's main rudder. This unique double servo system has the effect of increasing the sensitivity of the vane gear, allowing it to operate better and under conditions when other self-steering systems do not work. The windvane, turret, control mechanism and linkages are made from injection molded lexan. These high quality materials provide great strength and low weight, little wear and absence of corrosion. This low weight is especially important on smaller yachts and boats of light displacement.
Paddle removal is easy and fast and protects the gear when powering, at anchor or in bad weather.
In a few moments the oar can be reset and the gear is ready for use again. Stainless hull brackets are supplied for each attachment. The versatile system provides easy installation on counter and reverse transoms as well as canoe sterns and an average installation can usually be completed in a matter of hours.
