For yacht owners, speedboat operators, and fishing boat captains who need a reliable, waterproof marine rudder angle indicator gauge at the helm, this instrument delivers a clear PORT-to-STBD readout with a cross-coil pointer drive, IP67 protection, and a 316 stainless steel bezel that holds up to saltwater spray and UV exposure season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach variant is sold as one unit or one matched set as described. The gauge bezel is manufactured from 316 stainless steel (SUS316) with an anti-fog curved glass lens. The display face diameter is 70mm (2-3\/4\"), with a standard panel cutout of 52–53mm (2\") or 85mm for large variants. The gauge body fits panel thicknesses from 2mm to 20mm (1\/12\"–4\/5\"), secured with an M4 nut. Operating voltage is 9–32V DC (compatible with 12V and 24V systems). The standard backlight is red; custom colors are available on request. Input signal is resistive. Protection rating is IP67. Wiring: orange (backlight), red (+9–32V), blue (battery negative), black (sensor signal). Eight variants cover gauge-only, gauge-with-sensor, and sensor-only configurations in standard (52mm) and large (85mm) sizes, including KUS-branded color displays and single or dual-station sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis gauge is well suited for replacing a failed or inaccurate rudder angle display on a sailing yacht or motorboat helm panel, building a new instrument cluster on a custom fishing boat or commercial vessel, and adding a second helm station display using the dual-station sensor on a flybridge or pilothouse — anywhere a durable, IP67-rated marine rudder angle indicator needs to read accurately in all conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e⚓\u003c\/span\u003e\n    Operating voltage: 9–32V DC (12V \u0026amp; 24V compatible).
