How to choose the unit to suit my boat

Which Commander Kit will fit my boat?

For outboard motor or sterndrive steering selection, the most important requirement is the amount of room available either side of the motor. Please ensure that the measurement is taken at the narrowest section of your engine well – particularly with tapered wells, as the cylinder tilts down with the motor.

The COMKIT1 with the newly designed and manufactured 511BH cylinder may be the most practical for installation to allow for boarding ladders, ski-ropes, or other obstacles.

Need some help? Complete this Steering Selection Form and we’ll assist you with the right kit to suit your boat and budget.
