Abstract:
A redundant steering system for watercraft that transfers rudder control to an electronic steering system when a hydraulic steering system either fails or is under repair. The electronic steering system utilizes either a fueled generator or a battery or series of batteries to power electric steering and flanking motors that serve control the angular position of the rudders.
