Key Features
Optimal Material:
The Dotan rudder head is crafted from advanced composite materials reinforced with fiberglass. This high-strength material is resistant to corrosion, ensuring durability and reliability in operation. Unlike aluminum alternatives, this design offers superior resistance to dynamic loads, guaranteeing a long service life even in the most demanding conditions.
Proven Reliability:
The rudder head features a minimalist design consisting of three main components: a roller, a latch, and a guide. This innovative mechanism has been time-tested in real-world sailing conditions, providing long-lasting and fault-free operation with minimal maintenance requirements.
Adjustable Rudder Gudgeon Position:
The rudder head allows for precise adjustment of the distance between the upper and lower rudder gudgeons, ensuring seamless adaptation to different transoms and stern configurations.
- The upper rudder gudgeon slides along the guide rail of the rudder head.
- Once adjusted to fit your boat’s transom, the gudgeon is securely fixed using the four included screws.
Designed for 14 mm Blades:
The rudder head is specifically engineered to accommodate rudder blades with a thickness of 14 mm. This creates a structurally balanced system, evenly distributing loads across all rudder components, ensuring excellent overall performance.
