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.
