A1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW:
1. The Autopilot Drive System makes it easy and economical to install an
automatic pilot on small to medium size sailboats with access to a quadrant or
tiller. The drive system is powerful and fast - capable of delivering over
450Nm/ 300lbs of cable thrust, with a normal H.O. to H.O. time of 12-15
seconds.
2.
The system comprises of a drive unit, a steering cable and a connection kit.
The drive unit can be installed in any convenient location. The steering cable
and connection kit transmit the steering forces to the quadrant or tiller.
Standard system steering cable length is 6 feet (2m) – other lengths available
from factory. The drive unit has a drive motor and solenoid clutch which
allows hand steering when disengaged. The drive unit also has a built in
adjustable thrust limiter and an integral rudder feed back (RFB) device.
3. The Type RS Drive is designed to produce a maximum cable push/pull of over
450Nm/300lbs, which requires a peak power of 90 watts. This makes the unit
capable of handling the vast majority of medium size sailboats up to
6500Kg/14300Ib displacement fully laden and 11m/37ft length.
Note: The definition of Fully Laden = The displacement of the yacht including all
