Garmin GRF 10 Rudder Feedback Sensor for Accurate Rudder Position Monitoring

GRF 10 - Rudder Feedback Sensor

Compatible Devices

Pair this sensor with the GHP 12 to provide rudder position feedback and to detect and avoid rudder stops while sailing or boating.

The GRF 10 uses a magnetic sensor to relay position information, eliminating friction that causes other types of sensors to wear out. The arm of the GRF 10 is connected to the rudder of the boat and relays position information through the sensor to the mariner so they know where the rudder is - giving them an added peace of mind when starting from a stopped position, docking, launching or moving at slow speeds.

Additionally, the GRF 10, allows sailors to:

• Know where the rudder is positioned without having to look back
• Make smoother maneuvers and avoid over-compensating
• Save undue wear and stress on their autopilot system by eliminating force on the rudder when it's already stopped left or right.

Specifications:

• 6.5" Cable
• Max cable length 49'
• Compass safe distance 3.2'

Enhance your boat's steering precision with the Garmin GRF 10 Rudder Feedback Sensor, designed to provide reliable rudder position feedback for seamless navigation. Compatible with Garmin GHP 12 autopilot systems, this sensor utilizes advanced magnetic technology to relay accurate rudder angles without friction, reducing wear and tear on the device. Its robust construction ensures long-lasting performance, even in harsh marine environments, giving boaters confidence during docking, launching, or slow-speed maneuvers. The sensor's arm connects directly to the rudder, transmitting real-time position data that helps prevent rudder stops and over-corrections, resulting in smoother steering and improved handling. By knowing the rudder’s exact position without needing to look back, sailors can make more precise maneuvers, reduce stress on autopilot components, and extend the lifespan of their steering system. The Garmin GRF 10 features a 6.5-inch cable with a maximum length of 49 feet, facilitating flexible installation options. Its compass-safe distance of 3.2 feet ensures accurate readings while maintaining safe operation around magnetic interference. This sensor is an essential addition for serious boaters seeking enhanced control and safety on the water.
