Attach the opposite ball joint to the RF300 feedback arm at the matching 140 mm radius point.
Print the manual in color (the grayscale online version loses some diagram detail) and read the "Interference Prevention" section twice before drilling any holes.
Drill and tap the rudder tiller arm (typically using a 4.2 mm drill and 5 mm tap). simrad rf300 installation manual
Adjust the rod length so that it bridges the exact gap between the tiller pin and the RF300 pin while both arms remain perfectly parallel.
The Simrad RF300 is a high-precision rotary rudder feedback unit designed for autopilot systems. It measures the exact angle of the rudder and transmits this data to the autopilot computer, ensuring straight tracking and precise vessel handling. Attach the opposite ball joint to the RF300
The effective radius of the RF300 arm must match the effective radius of the rudder tiller connection point. The distance from the center of the rudder stock to the transmission link pin must equal the distance from the center of the RF300 shaft to its transmission link pin.
