Clutch Engineering offers a great electronic steering system, The 6580. This unique and useful control system gives you the power to operate twin engines electronically with included handles. You can also do this in a special back-up mode via the included touch membrane switches. This system features a specialized design, allowing for membrane switches that add more functionality to a traditional control head. Forward, neutral and reverse switches allow for operation of the gearbox without moving the handles. This allows the standard 4 switches to be used for station select, lock, throttle override and engine sync. The 6580R Diamond Head Control is conveniently compatible with the popular Kobelt Mighty Mariner System.
Clutch Engineering provides advanced hydraulic steering system solutions. These steering systems are designed to meet the particular needs of many customers, including avid sailors, for many types of vessels. The 7003 variable delivery helm pump is made primarily of bronze and stainless steel, is watertight and has adjustable output flow. The helm pump is capable of 1 to 3 cubic inches of displacement per turn, and is available with a front mounting plate option.
