The 7195 dual stacked lever controller provides full follow up (FFU) control of the dual steering gear systems commonly found on Push Boats. These vessels are a regular sight on the Mississippi and adjoining river systems. One steering gear controls the steering rudders aft of the propellers and the other the flanking rudders forward of the propellers.
The 7195 requires an electronic amplifier and feedback units to complete the system, and a transfer box and station selector switches for systems with more than one station. The 7195 handles are equipped with a friction tensioning device, and the top handle typically comes with a centre detent. It is available with either single or dual potentiometers per handle for control interfacing.
The controller (with the exception of switches and potentiometers) is constructed entirely of die cast bronze complemented by stainless steel hardware for longevity in a marine environment.
