# 1140465 Rudder Indicator Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta 12 V rudder indicator kit for conventional rudder installations, weighing 0.975 kg.

The kit contains the instrument, sensor, cables and front ring, and it is listed for 145 applications across the 2001, 2002, 2003, D1, D2, MD, TMD, TAMD, AD, KAD and KAMD ranges together with MS and HS reverse gear units. It supersedes 858884, which in turn replaced 840789.

## 🔌 Function

Displays the current rudder angle at the helm from a sender that tracks rudder movement, so the operator can see the steering position without a sight line to the rudder.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Gauge needle sticks, reads off centre or fails to return to neutral
-   No movement of the indicator when the rudder is turned
-   Erratic or jumping readings from corroded connections or a failing sender
-   Backlighting dim or inoperative
-   Water ingress, fogging or corrosion inside the gauge housing

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Order by installation type, not by weight: this is the rudder kit and 1140463 is the Aquamatic sterndrive kit, and only 25 grams separate the two
-   The sterndrive kit adds connection parts for the drive steering arm; this one is supplied for a rudder linkage
-   Set the sender with the rudder held amidships so the gauge reads centre correctly
-   This is the rudder version - 1140463 is the kit for Aquamatic sterndrives, which reads drive steering angle instead
