Suppression ferrites
The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites
used with Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by
Raymarine.

Connections to other equipment
If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment
using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST
always be attached to the cable near to the Raymarine unit.
2. Mounting the drive components
Mounting the drive components involves four main steps:
•
ensuring correct hydraulic ram alignment
•
securing the hydraulic ram to the boat
•
connecting the hydraulic ram to the steering system
•
installing the other parts of the drive system
Ram alignment
When mounting the hydraulic ram, check that it is aligned correctly:
•
The ram must be at right angles to the mounting surface (see
Figure 4).
•
The ram must be at right angles to the tiller arm when the rudder is
amidships (see Figure 4).
•
The push rod must be accurately aligned with the tiller arm plane
of rotation. The ball end fitting only allows up to 5 degrees
misalignment between the push rod and tiller arm plane of
rotation (see Figure 5).
