Ruddersafe Standard Type 2 Outboard Rudder (For Boats up to 6.5m)

The Ruddersafe Standard Type 2 Outboard Rudder is designed to improve steering control and stability at low speeds, making manoeuvring, docking and cruising easier and more relaxed. Suitable for boats up to 6.5 metres (21ft), it is ideal for use with compatible outboard motors, stern drives and Z-drives.

The system features two folding rudder blades positioned alongside the propeller. At low speeds, these blades remain lowered to provide additional steering assistance, helping the boat hold a straighter course without the need for constant directional adjustments.

As speed increases, water pressure against the trim planes automatically lifts the rudder blades clear of the water. This prevents oversteering and ensures the system does not affect normal engine performance or reduce speed. Once the boat slows down again, an automatic spring mechanism returns the blades to their working position.

Designed as a practical retrofit solution, the Ruddersafe Type 2 can be installed without drilling into the cavitation plate, providing an effective way to improve low-speed handling without major modifications to the engine.
