Linear rudder position sensor - installation
Connecting to the course computer
1.Route the cable to the course computer, taking into account the EMC installation guidelines (page 7).
2.Connect to the RUDDER terminals on the course computer (refer to the illustration on page 25).
Note: To allow for the bullhorn’s movement, leave a loop of cable at the end of the linear rudder position sensor. If the standard cable is not long enough, your Raymarine dealer can supply a 10 m (30 ft) extension cable (part number: D173).
