Twin Motor Steering
Two drives on one transom, tied to one heading by an adjustable joint axis.
The Situation This Answers
One drive does not give enough thrust, or the boat needs redundancy on a long passage.
Four Steps From Boat to Specification
Mount both drives
Transom mount on N or W platform drives, or the steering control motor kit on a custom installation.
Link them
The joint axis adjusts from 580 mm to 700 mm to match transom spacing.
Steer from one helm
The wheel-and-cable system provides the input.
Check full lock
Both drives should reach full lock together after the joint axis is set.
