Mechanical Steering with Tilt – What Are the Benefits?

7 April 2025

The benefits of upgrading your helm to include tilt are straight forward:

·       Enhanced control and ability to navigate

o   Improved visibility because you can adjust your line of sight

o   Better maneuverability because you have more control, especially in tight spaces

·       Reduced Fatigue and Increased Comfort

o   Allows you to find your optimal position / preferred ergonomic angle which reduces physical strain

o   Gives more options to sit or stand and to change between for optimal comfort during your day on the water

·       Greater Safety and Accessibility

o   Each driver can adjust to have easier access to controls, navigation systems and radio equipment

o   Improved visibility makes everything safer
