ABSTRACT:
Described herein is a steering amplifier for use in the steering systems of watercraft. Potentiometers are mounted within the helm unit and the feedback unit of the craft and these potentiometers are used to determine the various helm and rudder positions. Circuitry is provided to determine the difference or error between the helm position and the rudder position and to energize solenoid valves which cause the rudder to move in the appropriate direction to correct the error.
