Need Rudder indicator gage

[captbuddy]

Does anyone have a working usable rudder indicator gage. Mind got water in it and it is not working. Called the company and ask if it was suppose to be waterproof and they said no. Well, my flybridge is not enclosed. Need to figure out what to do when I get another one if it is not waterproof.
Thanks,

I have a Furuno rudder angle gauge. Are you interested? I am working away from home but when I get back on Friday I can check the model number. Purchased and never installed because the autopilot has angle gauge built in.

I have a Raritan display that I just removed from an inside console, so its in good cond. From their website it looks like any Raritan display will work on their system. Who built the one you have now?

Sea Eric,
I also have a Raritan unit. Bought it a few years ago and did not know it was not waterproof. Installed it on the flybridge which is not enclosed. If I replace it with another one, I need to figure out how to keep it out of the weather. How much are you asking for your unit?
Thanks,

The one I have looks like this. Make me an offer.

Eric,
That is different looking than mine. Can you give me the measurements of yours to see if it will cover my hole in the dash.
Thanks,

The face of the panel is 3 3/4" X 2". The hole it fits in is 3 1/4" X 1 1/2".

Eric,
I will get back with you. Let me measure my hole.
Thanks,

Let me see if I can lay my hands on it.

Raritan Engineering made two rudder displays. Both will work from the same sender and sender box.
Sadly, the displays are not interchangeable. Either two edge meters like SeaEric's model, or two of the big analog meters. Never one and the other.
Been here, tried that, lost my T shirt..

My boat doesn’t have this, someone just put in a blank, I’d sure like to have one for maneuvering. How complicated would this be to put back? Or I have a ray marine autopilot, do they make one I can use that would be plug n play on sea talk?

 

[SeaEric]

My Garmin A/P has rudder angle on the display. Not sure about others.

The raymarine one in Mad Hatt does too, but I end up having to wait while the autopilot boots up along with the chartplotter so you don’t get a bunch of alarms for no gps, no heading data, no speed data, etc. Using the pilot head for that is a hassle compared to a dedicated gauge that sits there always on.

Hi Mike, I looked all over for it and can't lay my hands on it. Sorry. Not sure where it went.

I have a Raritan Rudder Indicator Gauge as per the attached pics. It was in working order when removed from my boat recently. $100 CDN plus shipping if you're still interested.
Hole size is 2-3/4"
