What should I connect my mechanical linear drive's leads to?
The heavier gauge red and black leads of a Raymarine mechanical linear drive are its motor (power) leads. These leads will be connected to the autopilot course computer or Evolution ACU's MOTOR A / B terminals. As autopilot drive units feature reversing DC motors, should it be determined the rudder is moving in the opposite direction to that commanded by the autopilot control head, then one would simply swap the drive unit motor lead connections to the autopilot course computer or Evolution ACU's MOTOR A / B terminals.
