Would you be willing to share the template? I might just try to do this
myself. The mounting issue has been the main thing keeping me from
adding a rudder sensor. My ST4000+ won't steer a straight line, and
insists on drifting consistently to the right of the rhumb line when
following a GPS course. It only self corrects once the cross-track
error gets to be extreme, but then I end up on a course still to
starboard of, but parallel to, the rhumb line. Maybe this would help.
