Securing the sensor to the boat
Mount the rudder position sensor on a suitable base alongside the
rudder stock and tiller arm:
rudder stock and tiller arm:
1. Hold the sensor in place, mark the mounting holes, then remove
the sensor. (If required, use the template at the back of the book.)
2. Drill the pilot holes using a 3 mm (
1
/
8
in) drill bit.
3. Attach the sensor to the mounting base using the self-tapping
screws supplied (No 8 x
3
/
4
inch, pan-head).
Note: To make minor adjustments to the sensor alignment, loosen the
screws, rotate the sensor body, then re-tighten the screws.

Attaching the sensor to the tiller arm
Attaching the tiller pin to the tiller arm
1. For optimum performance, mount the tiller pin on the tiller arm
140 mm (5.5 in) from the rudder stock.
Note: If necessary, you can fit the tiller pin anywhere between
101 mm (4 in) and 190 mm (7.5 in) from the rudder stock. This will
not affect autopilot performance, but will slightly alter the scaling of
the rudder angle display shown on the control unit.

is aligned either along or across the tiller arm.
