Yacht Rudder Alignment

Even if your logo isn’t straight across your steering wheel, your rudders can still be straight, this is because of hydraulic steering.

If you want your emblem to be straight across your steering wheel and have your rudders straight, follow this simple process:

  1. Straighten your rudders in accordance with your rudder indicator
  2. Press “autopilot”, this will hold your rudders straight
  3. Level out your steering wheel so that your emblem is straight across
  4. Disengage autopilot 

This isn’t just the case with Aquila Power Catamarans, this is applicable to a whole host of other yacht brands as well. For this and other yacht-related questions, call, click, or visit your local MarineMax store. We’ll see you out there!
