Remove the wheel drive front cover: • the front cover is held onto the wheel drive by three ‘push-fit’ posts which sit in three sockets on the drive ring • to remove the cover, hold the motor in one hand and use your other hand to pull the cover up and away from the drive unit (as shown below) D5403-1...
- Page 11 Note: The wheel drive is designed to work with 3 spoke clamps on 4 or 8 spoke wheels. For cosmetic reasons, however, you may want to fit an extra spoke clamp to the fourth spoke. Raymarine dealers can supply an extra spoke clamp (part number A18089).
- Page 12 4. Align the cover with the wheel drive: • the two pre-drilled holes (marked with an arrow) must line up with their matching pair of threaded inserts on the drive ring (also marked with an arrow) • make sure that the other spoke clamp holes align with their threaded inserts Note: The cover will only fit back onto the wheel drive when you have aligned the two parts correctly.
- Page 13 Securing the wheel drive to the wheel 1. Remove the wheel from the pedestal and place it on top of the drive unit, with the front of the wheel and drive both facing up. 2. Using the wheel drive template at the end of this book, select the correct set of spoke clamp inserts for your wheel: •...
- Page 14 Note: If your wheel is bulkhead or box pedestal mounted, you will need to obtain a bulkhead fitting kit (part number E15017) from your Raymarine dealer. Fitting instructions are supplied with the kit. Motor tube location Depending on the design of your pedestal and any surrounding obstructions, you can mount the wheel drive in one of two ways: •...
- Page 15 Pedestal bracket – length and position Note: If you are replacing an existing wheel drive, you need to: remove the old pedestal bracket, cut the new bracket pin to the correct length (see steps 2 and 3 below), then secure it in the standard orientation using the existing pedestal holes.
- Page 16 Note: You can install the pedestal bracket either way up. In the standard orientation the pin is at the bottom (below the mounting holes – see diagram). If obstructions on the pedestal prevent you from using the standard orientation, you can install the bracket so the pin is at the top (above the mounting holes).
- Page 17 154 mm (6.1 in) D5346-2 8. When the pedestal bracket is correctly positioned and aligned, mark around the inside of the slots, then remove the bracket. 9. Use a center-punch to mark the center of each slot, then use the smaller supplied drill bit to drill a 4.0 mm ( in) diameter hole.
- Page 18 Note: If the wheel is bent or the wheel drive is off center, the pin will move up and down in the back plate slot. As long as the pin does not hit the top or bottom of the slot, this pin movement will not affect the drive unit’s performance.
- Page 19 2. Route the cable through the pedestal (or guard rail) and back to the control unit: • if the pedestal has a cable duct, use this for the drive cable to make sure that it cannot foul the steering mechanism D5338-1 3.

- Page 23 Securing the sensor to the boat Location Mount the rudder position sensor on a suitable base alongside the rudder stock and tiller arm. Note: If necessary, you can install the sensor upside down. If you mount the sensor in this way, you must swap the red and green cable connections at the control unit.
- Page 24 Attaching the connector rod 1. Use a hacksaw to cut the threaded connector rod to length. 2. Screw the lock nuts onto the road and then the ball-pin sockets. 3. Press the sockets onto the pins on the sensor arm and tiller pin. Note: To give the precise rudder position, the rudder sensor has a built-in spring to remove any free play in the linkage to the tiller.
