[C320-list] Anyone interested in Rudder Reference Sensorand brackets?

[Monte B.]

Mike,

Since you have the mount bracket covered, the install is fairly simple. I
pulled the wire bundle up the starboard binnacle riser and it connects
directly to the control head. I have the set up numbers I settled on for my
boat and will post if someone wishes. The setup info is in the autopilot
manual. After you hook up the sensor, if your autopilot does not see the
unit (you'll know because the rudder position indicator bar will not display
at the bottom of the control head display) you will have to reboot the
control head. Go into setup, switch from wheel to tiller, save and exit, go
back in switch back to wheel, save and exit and you should see the rudder
reference bar. I don't think this part is in the book. I got it from a
Raymarine tech guy so you might save this.

I haven't set one up.  What I'm planning to do is set one up on my boat and
take pictures, then I will be better prepared to answer questions on the
installation.  Maybe someone that has hooked one up could help in the
meantime.
 
Yes, the wires connect to the control unit.  This is the manual for the
ST4000+ that shows how to connect and setup.

I was thinking about making a bracket similar to Stephen Cox?s design. Shown
on this link:> http://tinyurl.com/6jxwjs> > As things turned out, I happened
to find someone that bought out a marine store who has at least 7 sensors
that he would be happy to sell at a significant discount.  Since I have a
machine shop, I could run off 7 brackets and offer a complete kit that
includes sensor, brackets, and hardware for around $300 to $325 providing
there are takers for all 7 kits.  All you would have to do is clamp the
brackets on and connect 4 wires.  I will find out on Monday if he has more
than 7 sensors.  The first 7 people that signs up gets them.> > 1) Me  > 2)>
