Note: It may be necessary to drill a hole in the tiller arm. The hole

Steering check
Once the hydraulic ram is mounted you must perform a steering
check to ensure the ram has been mounted correctly.
Turn your vessel’s steering wheel from hardover to hardover and
check the following:
• Angular movement of the ball end fitting is less than 10 degrees
for the Type 2 drive, or 5 degrees for the Type 3 drive. If this
limit is exceeded the drive will catch on the tiller arm or rudder
quadrant and the ball joint will bind.
• Ensure no part of the drive unit fouls your vessel’s structure when
the push rod moves in and out.
• Ensure that the total rudder movement is limited to +/- 35 degrees
by the steering system end stops, rather than the linear drive’s
end limits.
