MD77RDI DIAL RUDDER ANGLE INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
The MD77RDI is a NMEA-based Rudder Angle Indicator, housed in a robust, compact aluminium enclosure. Fitted with touch panel dimmer control for background and pointer illumination. The MD77RDI provides a clear and easy to read 118 mm diameter analogue display graduated in 1 degree increments from 45 degrees PORT to 45 degrees STARBOARD. Compact and rugged, the MD77RDI offers a solution for locations where the available space is limited and may be either bulkhead or panel mounted. Finished in jet black to complement other marine navigation equipment.
The MD77RDI from Marine Data: flexible in application, easy to installand simple to maintain.
