Hi there..

Where is the rudder transducer located?
I would be pleased to take a couple resistance measurements

No schematics


thanks Glenn Strazds

I haven't seen anything to confirm you have checked your rudder
reference transducer. If you haven't you should disconnect first and
then check for red to green of 5K ohms and green to blue of 0 to 5K
ohms for 0 to 360 degrees of rotation.

Follow the wires from your control head to the Sailpilot and the
reference unit. They both are going to be physically attached to the
rudder quadrant but mounted to something fixed on the hull. The
reference unit is a black device that rotates as your quadrant moves.
This makes the resistance value in the leads from the reference unit
change. Disconnect them and take the resistance measurement.

Hi there Tim...

Thanks for the tip... Corrosion? - test it out...
