When a direct link from the rudder to the pedestal via a rack and pinion system isn’t possible, the best, most direct and strong mechanical steering system to go for is the Jefa transmission steering system. The result is a steering system which can be far away from the rudder, but with the same precision and feel as a tiller steered boat.
