10. Tighten the hose clamps around the bullhorn ram and the rudder
sensor’s barrel.
11. Tighten the starboard bullhorn bolt to secure the U-bracket.
12. Fit and tighten the supplied nut and washer to secure the threaded
rod end of the sensor’s shaft to the U-bracket.
Notes: 1. If there is restricted space below the ram, you can mount the
sensor in front of the ram.
2. We recommend installing the sensor with its shaft pointing to
starboard. If you cannot install the unit in this orientation, you can fit
it with the shaft pointing to port. If you do this, the SportPilot will
automatically correct itself, so no manual adjustment is necessary.
Linear rudder position sensor – cabling
1. Connect the linear rudder position sensor cable to the
RUDDER
REF
cable (color for color). Use the Scotchlock connectors and
crimp the connectors with a pair of pliers.
Note: Connect the cables close to the SportPilot so that the
connectors remain dry and free from strain.
2. Route the cable to the SportPilot, taking into account the EMC
installation guidelines (page 21).
Note: To allow for the bullhorn’s movement, leave a loop of
cable at the end of the linear rudder position sensor.
