That unit looks pretty good but I have not heard of the brand before.

With your transom hung rudder would you not be better off with a trim tab self steering unit??

No it's a Neptune. Classy bit of kit. Few bits missing. I would like to see the mounting bracket and the course setting gear is not shown.




It's very similar to a Fleming except it uses alloy castings instead of SS. Ratios and dimensions are identical. Probably a good buy if you value your man hours in labour making one.
