What Is A Boat Helm? – Understanding Boat Helm Systems By Sgn Marine

A boat helm is the central steering mechanism of a vessel — the point where the captain controls direction and maneuverability. It typically includes the steering wheel, helm pump, and connecting cables or hydraulic systems that transmit movement to the rudder. A well-designed helm ensures accurate response and smooth handling, essential for both safety and performance on the water.
