(hydraulic inboard steering systems)
Note: Hydraulic inboard steering systems MUST be fitted with a
linear rudder position sensor.
The rotary rudder position sensor can be used on hydraulic inboard
steering systems to transmit the precise position of the boat’s steering
to the SportPilot. Depending on your engine installation, you can
mount the sensor to the steering arm, or to the tie bar.
