have to buy and install a rudder arm for your rudder shaft. The rudder arm can be mounted
on the rudder shaft in any direction.
Make sure that the ruder arm can freely move 35° in both directions and that there is
enough room available to mount the drive unit and rudder angle sensor as per the following
sections.
Check with your boat manufacturer for special instructions on mounting autopilots to your
