3) The clamps and band should be positioned as far as possible towards the end of the
Linear RFU which has the cable that goes to the autopilot (see Figure 30). Loosely place
the stainless steel band clamp around the Linear RFU and the outboard’s steering
cylinder.
Place the larger plastic mount bracket on the RFU, curved face on the Follower. Place
the smaller plastic mount bracket on the steering cylinder, curved face on the cylinder
body. Loosely tighten the band clamp around the RFU, the cylinder and the brackets
(see Figure 31 and Figure 32).

4) Remove the nut from the steering cylinder rod’s end (see Figure 33). Place the thick
nylon flat washer (1.57 mm / 0.062” thick), then the thinner nylon flat washer (0.81 mm /
0.032” thick) and lastly the stainless steel bracket, over the threaded end of the rod.
Place the stainless steel flat washer on the other side of bracket, and then replace the
cylinder rod’s nut. Do not tighten it yet – just thread it part-way, far enough to stay on.
5) Extend the sliding rod completely out of the Linear RFU. Push it back in slightly (about
3mm / 1/8”). Adjust the position of the Follower so that the end of the sliding rod is flush
with the stainless bracket. Place the nylon washer between the nut and the stainless
steel bracket. Place the stainless steel washer on the other side of bracket, and screw
the Nylock nut part-way onto the threaded rod at the end of the Linear RFU.
