Scam Marine General Rudders

• Make: Scam Marine
• Model code: General rudders

Steering gear provides:- stability of the navigation of the ship (the ability to maintain well the desired direction of sailing),- the ability to turn (the rudder’s property that the ship makes smaller turning circle). The purpose of rudder is to maintain or to change the direction of the ship’s navigation. It is installed in the ship’s stern, directly behind the propeller. When the rudder is in neutral position, the ship maintains the direction. When the rudder turns sideways, the sea water flow at the rudder changes direction, creating pressure on the rudder, which gives momentum and turns the ship’s bow on the same side as the rudder. Ships with two propellers have two rudders as a rule.
