Rudder angle indicator
HI, I have a 1993 350 Voyager and would like to add a rudder angle indicator. Any recommendations?

They are all rather rudimentary. I replaced mine with one like this which works wonderfully. https://www.ebay.com/itm/KUS-Boat-Rudde ... SwpOxaAWGK

Re: Rudder angle indicator
Like Hans said, there's several standalone kits and brands on the market.
Do you have electronics that will display rudder position? Do you have an autopilot? If so, you may already have a sender installed. If your electronics is capable of displaying rudder data, I'd look into getting your electronics brand's sender.

Re: Rudder angle indicator
Oddly enough I have a rudder indicator for the autopilot by Raymarine which displays on my chartplotter. There is also a secondary gauge which was installed factory with another sending unit, this is the one I replaced simply for cosmetic reasons and it was never installed properly from the factory so the proper adjustment could not be made to match what the Raymarine unit was indicating.

Re: Rudder angle indicator
Thanks everyone, appreciate the info. My electronics are not equipped so I will use an aftermarket gauge.
