Rudder Reference Installation with EV-200 Power

Rudder Reference Installation with EV-200 Power
I'm converting a Simrad AP to your EV-200 on a 2007 Back Cove 33 with hydraulic steering.

Q1. During the middle of the conversion, is the Raymarine EV-200 autopilot able to function without the rudder reference (ACU-200, EV-1, & p70R installed) using virtual rudder reference?

Referring to Raymarine's Rudder Position Sensor Installation Guide: I'm am unable to install the Tiller Pin at the optimum 5.5" (figures 1 & 2) on the rudder tiller arm due to the geometry/construction of the tiller arm. It will be more closer to 7" to 8". This will cause the Stud connecting rod not to be parallel with a line drawn between the center posts of the rudder and the Rudder Sensor arm as indicated in figure 1. I ought to be fine with the "throw" of the tiller arm.

Q2. In this circumstance, I'm thinking it is most important to have the Stud connecting rod be at a 90 degree angle to both the tiller and the Rudder Senor as shown in figure 2. Would you recommend otherwise?
