Twin Disc Dubuts Technologies at FLIBS
Twin Disc will introduce three new products at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, November 3–7.

Avoiding the pitfalls of traditional hydraulic setups, the electronic helm is connected to the hydraulic-powered rudder(s) via wires, reducing leaks and loss of steerage. The e-Steer system features Speed Sensing technology. This provides helmsmen adaptive resistance, so the helm is firmer when at full throttle and lighter when maneuvering slowly.
