Note !

Due to space limitations, it may be necessary to cut the length of
the transmitter rod to move the RF300 closer to the rudder post.
Tighten the mounting screws for both the RF300 feedback unit
and the transmitter rod ball joint.
Observe the RF300 while someone turns the helm wheel through
the complete travel from full port to full stbd. rudder to verify
that the mechanical linkage to the RF300 is not obstructed.
