I am installing an ev 100 auto pilot and would like to know if I can shorten the lead from the rudder sensor to the acu. Also, can I shorten the control line from the acu to the wheel motor. There seems to be a lot of wire and I have few places to hide the excess.

Thanks
Tim
Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Tim,

Q1. Can I shorten the lead from the rudder sensor to the acu?
A1. As the rudder reference transducer is essentially a rheostat, it is indeed possible to shorten the rudder transducer's leads.

Q2. Can I shorten the control line from the acu to the wheel motor?
A2. As these are simply power leads, it is indeed possible to shorten the drive motor leads.
many thanks
Tim
You're welcome.
