G.2 AUTOPILOT MODULE (optional)
If an autopilot is installed, the steering system
is operated by a hydraulic module that controls
a piston connected to the rudder stock.
This hydraulic module requires a specific
electrical power supply (12 V DC). It is controlled
by an electronic unit on the autopilot, which
sends signals to the module, allowing the
steering system to be controlled. The piston is
installed in the afterpeak, together with the
rudder angle feedback sensor, which sends
electronic signals to the autopilot. Make
frequent checks on the correct connection of
the feedback mechanism to the rudder stock
and the hydraulic actuator.
Check that no objects or materials stowed in
the afterpeak are able to move and interfere
with correct operation of the piston or the
feedback system.
