Notes:
1.If there is restricted space below the ram, you can mount the sensor in front of the ram (not below it).
2.We recommend installing the sensor with its shaft pointing to starboard. If you cannot install the unit in this orientation, you can fit it with the shaft pointing to port. If you do this, swap the red and green connections at the course computer.
Connecting to the course computer
1.Route the cable to the autopilot or course computer, taking into account the EMC installation guidelines.
2.Connect to the RUDDER terminals on the autopilot or course computer, as described in the owner’s handbook. If required, fit the spade connectors provided.
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).
