Mechanical Steering with Tilt – What Are the Benefits?
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
