Drill and tap the rudder tiller arm (typically using a 4.2 mm drill and 5 mm tap).
Before securing the unit, rotate the transmitter lever until the alignment marks are perfectly centered. These marks should be opposite the cable entry point of the feedback unit. Tiller Arm Connection: simrad rf300 installation manual

The goal of the mechanical installation is to maintain a between the rudder movement and the feedback unit. Tiller Arm Connection: Connect the transmitter rod to
Slowly turn the helm from lock to lock by hand. Verify that the rod does not bind and that there is no mechanical interference throughout the full range of motion. 2. Wiring and Connection The RF300 uses a unique two-wire frequency-based signal .
The is a high-resolution rotary rudder feedback unit designed to provide precise rudder position data for Simrad autopilot systems, specifically for vessels with inboard engines. Installing this unit correctly is vital for smooth, accurate auto-steering and to avoid common errors like rudder feedback alarms.
