Do not tighten the nut at this time. 3. Adjust the position of the sensor mounting clamp so that the distance ➎ between the mounting bracket and the center of the tiller bolt is between 19.69 in. (500 mm) and 32.28 in. (820 mm) during the full range of the cylinder movement. If the distance ever compresses below 19.69 in. (500 mm) or extends beyond 32.28 in. (820 mm) it will damage the sensor. 4. Tighten the M6 nut to 3.7 ft-lbf (5 Nm). 5. Install the sensor mounting stud ➏ in the sensor mounting clamp. 6. Fit the rudder feedback sensor ➐ on the sensor mounting clamp and the tiller bolt. 7. Fasten the rudder feedback sensor to the sensor mounting clamp with the included M5 A4 washer ➑ and locking pin ➒. 8. Fasten the rudder feedback sensor to the tiller bolt with the included M5 A4 washer and locking pin. Connecting the Drive Unit to the Garmin Autopilot Notice Do not cut the cables connected to the drive unit. Cutting the drive-unit cables voids your warranty. Consult the installation instructions provided with your Garmin autopilot to install the autopilot components and to connect the drive unit to the correct component. 4 Class B Drive Unit Installation Instructions
