The Linear Drive should be connected to the tiller arm or the quadrant with the 12mm bolt
and spring clip supplied through the tiller arm or quadrant and according to the geometry
shown in figure.
Note!
Use the spring clip to secure the 12 bolt so the Linear Drive can be disconnected fast
if needed in an emergency situation.
A bridging bracket may have to be made across the quadrant arm if a suitable connection
point is not available. Alternatively a separate tiller arm may be connected to the rudder-
stock above or below the quadrant and the Linear Drive rod end bolted to it. The Linear
Drive has self aligning and self lubricating bearings making alignment less critical and re-
ducing maintenance.
The recommended tiller arm length is 160 mm to provide 47° of rudder angle movement (on
both sides). The maximum cylinder stroke is 254 mm (10”).

Note!
Do not use a tiller shorter then 150 mm or longer then 200 mm.
If your boat has less rudder angle, or if the tiller has another length, you may use a tiller
length that will correspond as close as possible to your boats maximum rudder angle.
