How to Start Riding Steady With Classic

Get Ridesteady up and running fast.

Boat Compatibility

The Ridesteady speed control system is generally compatible with recreational boats (runabout, ski, wakeboard) with 4, 6, or 8 cylinder engines with 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).

It is best if your boat has a pull-type throttle, where when the driver throttle lever is pushed down, the throttle cable “pulls-in” at the engine connection. However, we have also had successful customer installations on push-type throttles, such as OMC engine configurations. Contact us for more information.

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.
