To Assemble the Rudder
Feedback Arm
Measure the approximate diameter of your
rudder post in inches.
The Rudder Arm has several holes drilled
through it. The holes are marked by numbers
on the top surface of the arm.
Select the hole on the Rudder Arm marked
by a number equal to the diameter of your
rudder post measured in inches. (1 cm =
0.394 in.)
Bolt the Brass Ball Joint onto the Rudder Arm
using the selected hole. The ball of the Brass
Ball Joint must be on the same side of the
Rudder Arm as the numbers. Tighten the nut
and lock washer securely.
Attach the Rudder Post Arm to the rudder
post using a stainless steel band clamp. The
Brass Ball Joint must be on top. The Rudder
Post Arm must be at the same height as the
Rudder Follower.
The Rudder Post Arm must point straight
ahead when the rudder is in the straight
ahead steering position.
Attaching the Rudder Feedback
Linkage.
Move the rudder so it is in the straight ahead
position.
Move the Rudder Feedback Arm so that the
Arm is directly above the point where the
cable enters the Rudder Feedback.
Loosen the adjustment block that keeps the
two pieces of the Rudder Feedback Linkage
from sliding.
Snap the Rudder Feedback Linkage onto the
two Brass Balls. Make sure to close the small
release clamps on each Plastic Socket.
With the Rudder Feedback Arm directly
above the cable gland and the Rudder Arm
pointing straight ahead, tighten the adjusting
block.
Caution
Carefully watch the Linkage while you move
the rudder through its full range of motion.
The Rudder Feedback and the Rudder
Feedback Linkage should move easily
without binding. The moving parts must not
contact any other objects. If there are any
problems, fix them now.
Run the Rudder Feedback Cable from the
Rudder Feedback to the space where the
Processor will be located. Place the Cable so
that it is protected from abrasion, stretching
and cutting.
Turn to the section titled: "Wiring the
Processor".
