Rudder Assemblies
Rudder gear that steers true, year after year
From a replacement rudder stock to a complete new rudder with bearings, tiller arm and quadrant, we design and manufacture rudder gear suited to the vessel it drives. Bronze or stainless, keyed or splined, with full bearing supply from Duramax or Tufnol.
Available as a complete assembly or as individual parts to suit a repair.
