Description
Garmin Class B Compact v2 | Space-Saving Linear Steering Drive
Resolve installation space constraints with the Garmin Class B Compact v2 Drive Unit, a refined linear actuator designed for mid-sized yachts where bilge area is limited. This version 2 update features improved internal sealing and a high-efficiency motor that delivers the necessary thrust for displacement hulls without the bulk of traditional heavy-duty steering rams.
Tailored for sailboat applications with hydraulic or mechanical steering, this compact unit connects directly to the autopilot control unit. Proper alignment of the drive shaft during installation is critical to preventing premature bearing wear and ensuring the internal sensor provides accurate feedback to the core autopilot computer.
Technical Key Features
- Compact design fits restricted bilge spaces.
- High-efficiency 12V DC linear drive motor.
- Improved v2 internal sealing for longevity.
- Integrated clutch enables rapid manual takeover.
- Corrosion-resistant shaft for harsh marine air.
