3.9 Rudder reference 

The SPX Solenoid requires a rudder reference to function correctly and is sup-
plied with a unit.

The SPX 30 is supplied with a rudder reference unit to provide maximum perfor-
mance. 

The SPX 10 does not require a rudder reference and is not supplied with one. 
However if the SPX 10 is being used with an extreme performance boat, the addi-
tion of a rudder reference may provide enhanced performance.

To mount and connect the rudder reference (if applica-

ble)

Fit the rudder reference using the instructions supplied with it. 

Route the cable back to the SPX SmartPilot.

Connect Rudder sensor to RUDDER terminal.
