S 500 Series: High-Performance Self-Steering (Lightweight Version)

The S 500 is the ideal solution for vessels requiring a powerful self-steering system with an optimized weight profile. Specifically designed for mid-sized yachts, it combines the agility of a servo-pendulum with the steering authority of a dedicated auxiliary rudder.

Core Advantages

  • Lightweight Optimization: A specialized, lighter version that maintains South Atlantic's signature robustness, ensuring it does not compromise the trim of smaller or performance-oriented sterns.

  • Mechanical Efficiency: The auxiliary rudder provides precise control from the aft-most position, allowing the main rudder to be locked to counteract weather helm.

  • Modular & Foldable Design: The entire servo unit can be removed in seconds. Both the servo and auxiliary rudders feature a lift-up function for easy docking and protection.

  • Versatile Installation: Engineered for flexible mounting, including off-center (offset) positions to accommodate swim ladders or specific transom layouts.

Technical Features

  • Custom Adaptability: Air vane mast, pendulum shaft, and tiller arm lengths are customized to fit each individual boat’s specifications.

  • Autopilot Integration: Includes a standard pin fitting for cockpit autopilots (such as Autohelm or Simrad) directly on the windvane arm.

  • Precision Controls: Adjustable vane for varying wind strengths, central fixing position, and variable power transmission.

  • Safety & Durability: Features a swinging rudder system ($\pm 170^\circ$) and built-in protection against mechanical overloading.

Material Specifications

  • Chassis: 100% seawater-resistant aluminum alloy.

  • Bearings: Maintenance-free POM sliding bearings for exceptionally soft-running operation.

  • Vane: 6 mm high-grade polycarbonate.

  • Guarantee: South Atlantic provides a lifetime guarantee against material defects in the aluminum components.
