Introduction

The rotary rudder position sensor is suitable for all steering systems apart from ‘bullhorn’ style hydraulic outboards (which require a linear rudder position sensor - see page 26). The rotary rudder position sensor connects directly to the boat’s tiller arm or quadrant.

Installing the sensor involves five main tasks:

•	ensuring correct alignment
• securing the sensor to the boat
• attaching the sensor to the tiller arm
•	checking alignme t
• connecting to the course computer
