3.2 Installation of Rudder Feedback
3.2.1 Position
Install rudder feedback as shown in the diagram labelled Rudder Feedback Unit
Installation The unit should be adjacent to the tiller and must copy the angular
movement of the tiller. The markings on the rudder feedback unit indicates the
required movement of the tiller for course correction. It should be installed
with the shaft uppermost, mounted and linked in such a way that the four pivot
points (tiller post, feedback shaft and the adjustable linkage points) form the
four corners of a parallelogram.
The rudder feedback unit is water resistant. However, if it is to be mounted in
a wet position, some effort is necessary to ensure the unit does not become
immersed in water. If necessary the rudder feedback unit may be mounted ups-
ide down, in which case the black and red connections to the KAP-866
ter-minal should be reversed.
