Becker Rudders (Flap, Twist, Schilling)

Flap, twisted and high-lift fishtail rudders for better manoeuvrability, reduced cavitation and propulsion efficiency.

Becker's rudder range includes the Flap Rudder, which balances manoeuvrability and efficiency and suits crabbing in small ports and rivers. The Twist Rudder has a twisted profile that matches the propeller's rotational flow to reduce cavitation and drag. The Schilling Rudder is a high-lift fishtail profile allowing rudder angles up to 70°, suited to crabbing and dynamic positioning. Options include twisted flap profiles and closed linkage systems.
