[C320-list] Edson Tiller Arm Connection Detail for Linear Drive, Size of Blocks Limiting the Rudder Movement

[Allan S Field]

Dave - While we did a virtual carbon copy of the Scott Thompson install on
Sea Shadow, due to recent knee replacement surgery, it is going to be quite
a while before I can again climb down into that locker and get these answers
for you.  And since it has been about 2 years ago, I don't trust my memory!
Sorry, but if you are on the Chesapeake, you are welcome to meet me at the
boat after 1/1/15 and see for yourself.

Subject: [C320-list] Edson Tiller Arm Connection Detail for Linear Drive,
Size of Blocks Limiting the Rudder Movement

I noticed on the photos on the Catalina 320 website that the linear drive is
connected to the tiller arm on top of the tiller arm instead of inside the
tiller arm per the Edson detail. What is the distance from either the
centerline of the rudder post or from the edge of the rudder post to the
center of the pin/bolt? Is it located in the third or fourth indentation on
the Edson tiller arm from the rudder post?
Also what is the size of the blocks that were installed to limit the
movement of the rudder? I see in the Raymarine instructions if the unit is
not properly protected by limiting the range of motion that the warranty can
be void.
Any comments and suggestions are sincerely appreciated.
