This manual provides information on the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Simrad SD10 Sailboat Drive.
This manual provides installation instructions for the Simrad SD10 Sailboat Drive system, designed for small to medium-sized sailboats. The system includes a drive unit, steering cable, and universal connection kit, capable of delivering over 180 kg of cable thrust with a hard-over time of 12-15 seconds. It features a built-in adjustable thrust limiter and an integral rudder feedback device.
| Peak thrust | 180 kg (400 Ibs) |
|---|---|
| Normal H.O. to H.O. time | 12-15 seconds |
| Maximum boat displacement | 6500 kg (14300 Ibs) |
| Maximum boat length | 11 m (37 ft) |
| Peak power | 90 watts |
The helmsman can overcome the steering action by exerting force on the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the drive, causing the thrust limiter to slip.
The cable should be replaced after 150-200 hours of use or every two seasons.
Yes, the ports can be reversed to provide more flexibility for routing, but this will reverse the steering direction.
