Alignment
The arm can rotate freely around the base. When the rudder is amidships, the arrow on the arm must point to one
of the centre lines on the base.
Therefore in an installation, the base can be rotated to two positions. We recommend the position that has the
cable on the opposite side to the connecting rod.
Arrangements
Recommended: U-shaped arrangement with the arm parallel to the length of boat:
