Mamba™ Systems

The Mamba™ system provides the ultimate in marine steering, in terms of precision, feedback and strength. Mamba™ systems
are chosen for a diverse range of sail and power craft such as bluewater cruising yachts, pilot vessels, and sail training vessels.

▪ Uses rotating torque tubes and bevel gears to transmit the helmsman’s input
▪ Reduction gearboxes can be incorporated in the system to reduce the load felt on the wheel
▪ Allows twin wheels and multiple rudder applications

▪ Favoured for its direct feel with almost zero backlash
▪ Autopilots can be coupled directly into the system giving added
flexibility of setup
▪ Minimal maintenance
▪ Offers precise rudder feel

▪ Different gearbox options accomodate high rudder torques seen on larger boats
