Compatibility information
The drive unit either replaces or is used in conjunction with common
brands of mechanical rotary and rack and pinion steering helm units.
The drive is based on the Morse 290 rotary helm unit and accepts
Morse 304411 and Teleex SSC52 rotary cables without modication.
If the boat is tted with any of the following systems:
Teleex Safe T or Teleex Big T Uex T71
Uex T73NR or Uex T81
A cable adapter must be tted to the cable before installing the drive.
If the boat has a rack and pinion type steering system (or other brands
of rotary system), the drive can be used, but the steering cable must
also be replaced with a Morse 304411 or Teleex SSC52.
The drive is designed to produce a maximum cable push/pull of 136 kg,
which makes it suitable for the vast majority of cable steered boats.
However, some boats tted with push-pull cable steering systems have
very sti steering or steering which is heavily loaded in one direction
due to hull design and engine considerations. Generally speaking, the
drive will steer boats that do not require more than a 7 kg force on the
rim of a 35 cm diameter steering wheel to hold a course, this equals
1.2 kgm of torque. If the steering wheel input torque exceeds this
gure it is recommended that a hydraulic linear actuator drive system
is used.

Mounting location
Point-1AP and Precision-9
The compasses contain a magnetic heading sensor and should not
be mounted close to any potential magnetic source, and as close
to the vessel’s centre of roll and pitch as possible. Refer to technical
specications.
Potential sources for magnetic/electromagnetic interference include:
• Electrical Motors/Magnets/Moving Metal items
• Outboard Engines
• High current electrical sources such as main power cables,
batteries, distribution panels etc.
The Point-1AP compass also comes with a GPS antenna and should
be mounted as far as possible away from disturbing magnetic/
electromagnetic interferences.
