5.1 Rotary rudder position sensor - installation

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 page26). 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 alignment
•connecting to the course computer
