A transceiver mechanism is provided on the other side of the interior of the device shell, and the transceiver mechanism converts mechanical motion into electrical signals. The rudder angle transmitter makes the navigation control of the ship more intelligent.

[0006] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes an inner device box, a fastening hole, a fin plate and a guide rod.
