Navigation Instruments

Precise instrumentation to safely steer your boat

The multifunctional gauge with segment display indicates the Speed over Ground and includes a programmable speed alarm.

The ViewLine rudder angle gauge for wheel-controlled yachts displays the current rudder position at all times.

The ViewLine trim gauge provides information about the position of the engine in relation to the boat‘s stern.

On boats with twin engine installations, the ViewLine synchronizer helps to ensure correct synchronized running of both Units.

The ViewLine depth indicator measures water depth. The integrated alarm ensures safe passage through shallow waters.

Reliable navigation instruments ensure secure and accident-free maneuvers even in difficult situations such as narrow waterways. The VDO marine navigation instruments show precisely and clearly safety-related data and more.
