SIMRAD DD15 Sailboats Autopilot Drive Unit
The DD15 is a direct drive autopilot unit for sailboats between 30-40ft. It is more compact and efficient than most hydraulic and electromechanical drive units and has been built to withstand continuous use for periods of more than 24 hours per day. Included with the DD15 is the RF300 rudder feedback unit.



Overview

Ø Highly Accurate

Minor incremental adjustments provide a smooth auto-steering experience.

Ø Powerful

The maximum power output of 150KG/M provides outstanding performance even under heavy loads.

Ø Lightweight

At just 12kgs, the DD15 won't slow you down.

Ø High Sensitivity

Due to the electromechanical clutch, the direct drive can be back driven with the force of just a fingertip, which allows the mechanical steering to remain just as sensitive as without the drive unit attached.

Ø Rudder Feedback

Includes the RF300 rudder feedback unit, which contributes towards gentle yet positive and accurate auto-steering.

Ø Simrad Yachting Construction

Brutally strong and built to withstand the environment.
