Steering a vessel without knowing your rudder position means relying on feel and guesswork — acceptable in calm conditions, but a real liability when docking in crosswinds or navigating a narrow channel. For yacht owners, speedboat operators, and fishing boat captains who need a reliable, waterproof marine rudder angle indicator gauge at the helm, this instrument delivers a clear PORT-to-STBD readout with a cross-coil pointer drive, IP67 protection, and a 316 stainless steel bezel that holds up to saltwater spray and UV exposure season after season.
Each variant is sold as one unit or one matched set as described. The gauge bezel is manufactured from 316 stainless steel (SUS316) with an anti-fog curved glass lens. The display face diameter is 70mm (2-3/4"), with a standard panel cutout of 52–53mm (2") or 85mm for large variants. The gauge body fits panel thicknesses from 2mm to 20mm (1/12"–4/5"), secured with an M4 nut. Operating voltage is 9–32V DC (compatible with 12V and 24V systems). The standard backlight is red; custom colors are available on request. Input signal is resistive. Protection rating is IP67. Wiring: orange (backlight), red (+9–32V), blue (battery negative), black (sensor signal). Eight variants cover gauge-only, gauge-with-sensor, and sensor-only configurations in standard (52mm) and large (85mm) sizes, including KUS-branded color displays and single or dual-station sensors.
This gauge is well suited for replacing a failed or inaccurate rudder angle display on a sailing yacht or motorboat helm panel, building a new instrument cluster on a custom fishing boat or commercial vessel, and adding a second helm station display using the dual-station sensor on a flybridge or pilothouse — anywhere a durable, IP67-rated marine rudder angle indicator needs to read accurately in all conditions.

Standard variants require a panel cutout of 52–53mm (2") in diameter. The large KUS and large color variants require an 85mm cutout. The gauge body fits panels from 2mm to 20mm (approximately 1/12" to 4/5") thick, secured with an M4 nut from behind. Measure your panel thickness and existing cutout before selecting a variant.
Gauge-only variants include the display unit without a rudder angle sensor — suitable if you already have a compatible resistive sensor installed on your vessel. Gauge-with-sensor variants include both the display and a matched rudder angle sensor, providing a complete system for new installations. Sensors are also available separately for replacement or dual-station setups.
The gauge operates on a wide input voltage range of 9–32V DC, making it compatible with both 12V and 24V vessel electrical systems. Connect the red wire to the positive supply (+9–32V), the blue wire to battery negative, the orange wire to the backlight switch, and the black wire to the sensor signal output.
Yes. The gauge carries an IP67 rating, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The front bezel is manufactured from 316 stainless steel with an anti-fog curved glass lens, making it suitable for exposed helm stations on yachts, speedboats, and fishing boats.
This gauge accepts a resistive sensor signal via the black wire. It is designed to work with the matched rudder angle sensors available in this listing. If you plan to use a third-party sensor, confirm that its output resistance range is compatible with this gauge before purchasing.
The dual-station rudder angle sensor is designed to feed two separate gauge displays simultaneously — for example, a helm station and a flybridge station on the same vessel. The single-station sensor drives one gauge. If your vessel has multiple helm positions that need to display rudder angle, select the dual-station sensor.
The standard backlight is red, which is the conventional color for marine instrument panels as it preserves night vision. Custom backlight colors are available — contact us before ordering if you require a different color. The backlight is controlled via the orange wire connected to a separate switch.
