More control and course stability at low speeds

Ruddersafe rudder systems – improved maneuverability for outboard and sterndrives

Are you having trouble steering your boat at low speeds, such as when docking or manoeuvring in narrow waterways? Ruddersafe offers the solution. This dual rudder system improves the course stability and manoeuvrability of boats with outboard engines or stern drives (Z-drives).

Thanks to the unique construction with two rudder blades behind the propeller, the steering capacity is significantly increased, even at low speeds or when the engine is in neutral. In addition, the rudder blades automatically fold up at higher speeds, which reduces resistance and fuel consumption.
