Tiller Arm and End Stop Considerations
The actuator must not act as a rudder-movement limiter. Physical end stops (not included) must be in place to prevent the actuator from acting as the rudder-movement limiter, or damage to the actuator will occur.
You can connect the SmartDrive™ actuator to either an existing quadrant or to a tiller arm (not included). If you do not have a quadrant or cannot install the actuator at your quadrant location, choose a tiller arm that fits the diameter of your rudder post and is the correct length for the installation location.
The supplied tiller bolt is suitable for a quadrant or tiller arm thickness of 12 mm (0.47 in.) to 16 mm (0.63 in.).
