Garmin GRF 10 Rudder Feedback Sensor for Precise Rudder Position Monitoring

GRF 10 - Rudder Feedback Sensor

Compatible Devices

Pair this sensor with the GHP 12 to provide rudder position feedback and to detect and avoid rudder stops while sailing or boating.

The GRF 10 uses a magnetic sensor to relay position information, eliminating friction that causes other types of sensors to wear out. The arm of the GRF 10 is connected to the rudder of the boat and relays position information through the sensor to the mariner so they know where the rudder is - giving them an added peace of mind when starting from a stopped position, docking, launching or moving at slow speeds.

Additionally, the GRF 10, allows sailors to:

• Know where the rudder is positioned without having to look back
• Make smoother maneuvers and avoid over-compensating
• Save undue wear and stress on their autopilot system by eliminating force on the rudder when it's already stopped left or right.

Specifications:

• 6.5" Cable
• Max cable length 49'
• Compass safe distance 3.2'

The Garmin GRF 10 Rudder Feedback Sensor is designed to enhance your sailing experience by providing accurate rudder position feedback. Compatible with the Garmin GHP 12 autopilot system, this sensor uses a magnetic mechanism to relay rudder position information, eliminating friction-related wear common in other sensor types. Its arm connects directly to the boat's rudder, transmitting real-time data to help you maintain better control and confidence during maneuvers such as docking, launching, or navigating at slow speeds. The GRF 10 ensures you always know where your rudder is, reducing the need to look back and enabling smoother, more precise steering. This feature helps prevent over-compensation during steering adjustments and minimizes unnecessary stress on your autopilot system by avoiding force application when the rudder is already centered or at a stop. The sensor comes with a 6.5-inch cable, supporting a maximum cable length of 49 feet and maintaining a safe distance of 3.2 feet from compass equipment, ensuring compatibility with most vessel layouts. Easy to install and maintain, the Garmin GRF 10 offers reliable performance that enhances safety and maneuverability on the water. It’s a critical component for sailors seeking accurate rudder feedback, improved maneuvering, and longer-lasting autopilot systems, making it an essential addition to your marine navigation setup. Please note, this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause reproductive harm. For more details, visit P65Warnings.ca.gov.
