ST5000 Plus Sterndrive & Hydraulic Autopilots Owner’s Handbook
• Care must be taken during installation to ensure the transducer
arm is opposite the cable entry when the rudder is amidships.
Failure to position the arm correctly could result in damage if the
arm is driven onto its end stops by the steering system.
Control dimensions
• The dimensions must be within the specified limits.
• The tiller and transducer arms must be parallel to each other.
• With the rudder amidships, the transducer arm should be opposite
the cable entry and at 90° to the connecting bar.
• Minor adjustments can be made by slackening off the retaining
screws and rotating the transducer body.
