I/O Drive - Installation Guide
4. Secure the cable close to the I/O drive unit, making sure there is
enough free length to allow the drive unit to move.
5. Complete another hardover check: use the steering wheel to move
the rudder from hardover to hardover, and check that the cable
does not catch on any part of the boat or its fittings.

4. Post-installation check
WARNING:
Keep clear of moving steering systems at all times. Protect
moving parts from access during normal use.
Check the following points after installing the drive:
1. Is the drive unit securely attached to the steering system (with all
brackets, bolts, split pins, etc. secure)?
2. Is the drive unit correctly aligned?
3. Are the motor and clutch cables correctly routed and securely
connected to the course computer?
4. Complete a hand-steering check: Are you sure there is no contact
between the drive unit and any part of the engine, steering system
or boat’s structure when the push rod moves in and out?
Note: When you have installed the entire autopilot system, you will
need to complete an autopilot steering check. Refer to the control unit
handbook for more details.
