4. Post installation checks
Check the following points after installing the drive:
1. Is the drive secured to a substantial structure on the boat?
2. Have you used suitable steering and drive sprockets for the boat?
3. Are the drive and steering sprockets in line when viewed side-on?
4. Have you securely locked both sprockets to the shafts?
5. Have you tensioned the chain correctly?
6. Are the motor and clutch cables correctly routed and securely connected to the course
computer?
7. Complete a hand-steering check: Do the chain and sprockets move freely and in correct
alignment from hardover to hardover?
Note:
When you have installed the entire autopilot system, you will need to complete an autopilot
steering check. Refer to the control unit handbook for more details.
Maintenance
On a regular basis:
• check all connections and mountings are secure
• check chain and sprockets are correctly aligned and tensioned
• lightly grease sprockets and chain
• check cables for signs of wear or damage
Note:
If this drive is used heavily, we recommend that it is serviced every two years by a Raymarine Au-
thorized Service Representative.
