ACC Marine combines the art of classic shipbuilding with state-of-the-art composite materials. The result is a beautifully crafted, high-performance marine structure that adds value, durability, and a competitive edge to your boat. We are dedicated to the design and manufacturing of the world's best steering systems, poles, and tubes for virtually any size yacht.

RUDDER POSTS
Rudder posts can be ordered individually or with blade and bearing assembly.

Each rudder post consists of a hand-wound, custom designed shaft of uni-directional carbon tape thermally step-cured over aluminum mandrels.

Composite bearing journals are bonded to the shaft and turned to the desired diameters. Shafts can be either round or rhomboid shaped for flatter profile. All shafts are engineered to customer requirements and ABS standards where applicable.

RUDDER ASSEMBLIES WITH BLADE
Rudder components can be assembled at our factory with a custom designed CNC machine rudder blade. The blade generally consists of a ribbed, foam core substrate covered with precisely engineered layers of carbon and glass epoxy. The finished blade is primed and ready to paint.

We provide and install bearing races, bearings, shaft seals, tiller plugs and a bearing housing tube ready for installation into the hull and glassing in-place.

We can also incorporate additional features such as a kelp-cutter.

RUDDER BEARINGS AND ACCESSORIES
ACC Marine provides Accurate bearings in a self-adjusting standard sleeve type, self-adjusting roller or plain roller.

All bearings are manufactured from corrossion resistant materials and feature non-metallic rollers. Bearings and shaft seals are removeable for service and maintenance.

We supply rudder shaft accessories such as shaft seals, flanged bearings, bearing races, bearing housing tubes and tiller plugs.

We also offer a line of replacement bearings that will retrofit systems using Harken bearings.
STEERING COMPONENTS
Our unique carbon fiber wheels are corrosion resistant, lightweight and beautiful examples of form and function in an aesthetically pleasing package.
SPARS, POLES & TUBES
We have amassed a broad selection of mandrels over the years and can provide spinnaker poles, bow sprit tubes and whisker poles for just about any boat from 14 to 90 feet.
