I finally have the mechanical installation of my RPS complete. I removed the quadrant. This made the installation much easier.
In the first photo you see the RPS installed on the bottom of the cockpit sole. The center of the RPS is in line with the center of the rudder post. The arm is sprung all the way to port. This photo is looking forward and once the connector arm is attched it will be in line.
This next photo shows the quadrant with the adapter. It is made from 2 layers of 1/2" starboard. The pin will be the exact length from the center of the rudder post as the pin on the transducer. This will give exact reading of the rudder angle.
