Rudder indicator
Working area 3–180 ohms. NOTE! The control rod in this kit is designed for general installations. In another type of installation, an alternative control rod version may have to be used.
Fitting of sensor
NOTE! Always connect the rudder indicator to port driveline. Install the bracket for the control rod.
Install the nuts and the ball cups on the control rod. Remove the existing lever on the sensor. Install the new lever with the existing screw.
IMPORTANT! Adjust the lever length so that the sensor shows exactly full mechanical extension to starboard and port when the rudder does the same.
Install the control rod between the ball joints on the bracket and the lever. Lock it with the nuts. Mark and drill holes for the sensor where it will be placed. Use the full size template located inside the back cover of the manual. IMPORTANT Position the sensor so that the sensor shows exactly full mechanical extension to both starboard and port when the rudder does the same.
Install the sensor with washers and screws without fully tightening the screws. The sensor position can be adjusted when cables have been connected to the sensor and the system is powered up.

Adjusting sensor
Set the rudder fore-and-aft. Turn on the main circuit breaker. Adjust the sensor position by turning it so that the rudder indicator (the instrument) shows the rudder fore-and-aft. Tighten the screws in the sensor. Perform additional checks by turning the steering wheel to full extension to starboard and port.
