Maretron RAA100 Rudder Angle Adapter - RAA100-01

Maretron RAA100 Rudder Angle Adapter – RAA100-01

Improve your helm awareness and steering diagnostics with the Maretron RAA100 Rudder Angle Adapter (RAA100-01) — a precision interface that converts analog rudder angle signals into digital data for your vessel’s NMEA 2000® network. Designed for compatibility with a wide range of rudder angle sensors and rudder reference systems, the RAA100 enables real-time rudder position monitoring on NMEA 2000® displays, chartplotters, multifunction displays (MFDs), and vessel monitoring software like N2KView®.

By translating traditional analog rudder feedback into a standardized NMEA 2000® data format, the RAA100 allows you to integrate rudder angle information alongside navigation, engine, and environmental data — giving you greater visibility of vessel behavior and better situational awareness underway. Whether you’re tuning autopilot performance, monitoring steering alignment, or simply keeping an eye on boat handling, this adapter provides the accurate, network-ready rudder data you need.

Built with a rugged, marine-rated enclosure and sealed network connectors, the RAA100-01 is engineered for reliable performance in harsh offshore environments. It’s an essential component for modern vessel monitoring and control systems seeking to fully leverage rudder position feedback.

Summary for the User

The RAA100 is an essential upgrade for owners of older vessels who want to bring their steering diagnostics into the digital age. It eliminates the need for dedicated analog rudder gauges at the helm, saving dash space and providing a much more accurate reading than a needle on a dial.

Installation Tip: If your boat has dual steering stations, you can often use a single RAA100 to monitor the sender and broadcast the data to displays at both the flybridge and the lower helm simultaneously.
