rudder reference unit
The rudder hardover angle should only be limited by the rudder stops, not the rru linkage or pilot drive
unit. Check that when hardover, the rru arm and drag-link do not form a straight line. If this occurs the
steering system could become damaged or jammed endangering the boat and crew. This fault can
easily be rectified, by adjusting the position of the RRU.
linear feedback unit
Where installation of the conventional rudder reference unit is difficult or physically impossible, a
linear feedback unit (SEN-RUD-LFB) can be used. The linear feedback unit comprises of a tube
approximately 23mm (7/8 inch) in diameter and 300mm (12 inch) long. This assembly is attached to the
top of the B&G Blue Ram Types T1 or T2. Each end of the linear feedback unit has a small rose-joint
which is attached to corresponding pillars on the ram, the rose-joints are retained using washers and
spring clips.
