Boat Compatibility

The Ridesteady speed control system is compatible with most recreational boats (runabout, ski, wakeboard) with a V8 engine and mechanical throttle control, including both fuel injected and carbureted engines as well as most drive formats (I/Os/stern-drives, inboards/direct-drives, V-drives).

If you’d like to try Ridesteady on a boat with a smaller engine, contact us and we’ll work with you to see if our system would be a good fit.

Installation methods

Ridesteady is an aftermarket boat speed control that may be fitted to your boat through either a DIY installation or a dealer installation.

DIY Installation

If you’re mechanically inclined, you can follow the detailed step-by-step instructions included in the installation guide while leveraging Hydrophase Support's expertise to install the system yourself. Want to know what’s required? Read our installation guide here or contact us.

Dealer Install

If you’d rather have a marine specialist work on your boat, simply take the Ridesteady speed control system to your boat dealer for installation. We’ll be happy to discuss installation details with them.
(Most installers are already familiar with the Airmar paddlewheel.)
