JEFA STEERING PRODUCT UPGRADE ON ES150

Jefa Steering has announced its latest product upgrade for the ES150 Electric Steering system, introducing a new tilting option for the helm station, called Tilt Helm.

Tilt Helm offers greater flexibility for boatbuilders and improved comfort at the helm, building on the proven, responsive performance of the ES150 system

Christian Jørgensen, Product Lead at Jefa Steering, explains the benefits: “The optional tilting helm station now gives boatbuilders greater freedom to configure the ES150 system around different helm layouts and driving positions. This feature places a greater emphasis on the motorboat helm experience, offering an adjustable setup designed to make steering more comfortable and personalised for the operator.”
Tilt Helm features a range from -10° to 30°, adjustable in 10° increments across five distinct positions. It is available for new boat builds, as a retrofit package upgrade for existing ES150 systems.

Core benefits include.
– Ergonomics and comfort. The wheel can be angled to suit the helm and improve reach, wrist position and posture, particularly during longer periods at the helm. It can also accommodate drivers of different heights and builds.
– Greater flexibility in helm design. Boatbuilders can have greater flexibility to optimise the helm layout, seating and standing positions, rather than designing the entire console around a fixed steering wheel angle.
– Improved seated and standing operation. On many motorboats, particularly RIBs, sportsboats and adventure craft, the driver frequently moves between seated and standing positions. An adjustable steering wheel could make both positions more comfortable without compromising the console design.
– A more personalised experience. Adjustability is increasingly associated with premium products. The ability to configure the helm to individual preferences gives the driver a greater sense of control and comfort.
– Better access and movement. Having the ability to tilt the helm head can create additional space around the helm, particularly useful in compact consoles.

The ES150 (previously Electric Steer) was DAME Nominated in 2024 and was the first motorboat product on the market from Jefa Steering, which has over 25 years of experience in the sailing boat steering system market. The ES150 is currently available for outboard engines up to 200 horsepower and is Garmin autopilot and multi-engine compatible. It’s engineered for light and agile handling with 3 seconds lock-to-lock and a response time of only 0.2 seconds and, easy installation and minimal maintenance with no requirement for hydraulic hoses and pumps. The product has been developed and manufactured at Jefa Steering headquarters in Denmark for boat builders and boat owners worldwide.
