• You may need to mount the sensor on a fabricated base (as shown on the
illustration) if the distance between the transom and the center of the tie bar
is greater than 65 mm (2.5 in).
Mounting the sensor
1. Attach the sensor to the transom (or mounting base) at 90° to the tie-bar (as
shown below).
Note:
Make sure the sensor steering pin is level with center of the tie-bar. If there are ex-
isting holes in the tie-bar, position the transducer within 75-310 mm (3.0-12.2 in) so you
can use the threaded steering pin
2. Position the steering amidships.
3. Measure 75 mm (3 in) to 310 mm (12.2 in) along the tie-bar from the center of
the sensor steering pin.
4. Mark the tie-bar at this point.
5. Use the two stainless steel hose clamps/jubilee clips to secure the steering pin
to the tie-bar.
