Ruddersafe Standard Types improve the directional stability of boats equipped with an outboard motor or stern drive (Z-drive). Particularly at slow speeds — in harbours, when mooring or inside locks — the auxiliary rudder gives you immediately noticeable, superior control over your boat.
Which type fits your boat?
The choice is simple and depends entirely on the length of your boat: Ruddersafe Type 2 for boats up to 6.5 metres and Ruddersafe Type 3 for boats up to 8.5 metres. Unsure? Use our selection guide: which Ruddersafe type fits my boat?
Easy DIY installation, without drilling
You can fit the Ruddersafe in approximately 20 minutes onto the anti-ventilation plate of your engine — no drilling required. View our step-by-step installation guide.
Proven quality
Ruddersafe has been positively tested by the ANWB Waterkampioen and has been trusted by thousands of boat owners for decades. Read the reviews from fellow boaters. Are you navigating with a Volvo Penta stern drive? Then check out our Volvo Penta types.
