{"product_id":"b-g-simrad-dd15-direct-mechanical-drive-21119896","title":"B\u0026G, Simrad DD15 Direct Mechanical Drive","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe DD15 Direct Drive is a compact, very strong electro-mechanical autopilot drive that is more efficient than most hydraulic and electro-mechanical drive units. It combines a flat-wound (pancake) electric motor with an efficient planetary and spur gearbox to deliver a maximum output torque of 150 Kgm (equivalent to 150 kg of force at the end of a 1 m tiller) while weighing just 12 kg, and it is built for 24 hours a day continuous operation. The drive suits boats from 30 to 45 ft with a mechanical steering system that can be back driven. A patented electro-magnetic clutch lets the unit be back-driven with the force of a fingertip, so the manual steering stays as sensitive as it would be without the drive fitted. The DD15 includes the Simrad RF300 rudder feedback unit with transmission link and 10 m of cable; a draglink (DL2030, DL3040 or DL4050) is ordered separately to suit the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026G","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55952588210516,"sku":"21119896","price":2087.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9702\/3060\/files\/21119896-B_G_-Simrad-DD15-Direct-Mechanical-Drive.jpg?v=1784637588","url":"https:\/\/hudsonmarine.co.uk\/products\/b-g-simrad-dd15-direct-mechanical-drive-21119896","provider":"Hudson Marine Electronics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
