[CA11] Autopilot for Formula Vdrive - mglodowski - 11-27-19 10:07 AM I'm upgrading my electronics on my 2005 Formula 40PC, 496 MerCruiser Engines, VDrive (ZF transmissions) to the Axiom 12RV MFD Would like to upgrade my boat with a Raymarine autopilot system, but do not know if I require a rudder reference sensor. My steering system is as follows: STEER CYLINDER BA1757TM HC5319 SeaStar Solutions The pump selector suggests a Type 2 and ACU400. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. RE: [CA11] Autopilot for Formula Vdrive - Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator - 11-27-19 11:58 AM Welcome to the Raymarine Forum mglodowski, A rudder reference transducer is supplied with each ACU-200 and ACU-400. The system will not require that a rudder reference transducer be installed to support operation. However, should performance be found to be unsatisfactory or if operating a slow / trolling speeds, then it is strongly recommended that the included rudder reference transducer be installed. |
