Mounted below decks, the linear drive moves the rudder directly by pushing on the boat's tiller arm or rudder quadrant. When the autopilot is disengaged, the electro-mechanical clutch releases to allow smooth, unobstructed hand-steering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fixed end of the drive is secured to the boat's structural members, while the moving end attaches to the rudder stock or quadrant via an independent tiller arm; accessory fittings from your steering system manufacturer may be required, and the steering must be able to be back-driven from the rudder. This long shaft Type 2 model suits vessels up to 20,000kg (44,000 lbs) displacement with a maximum stroke of 400 mm (16 in), on 24-volt DC power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drive forms the muscle of an Evolution autopilot and requires the ACU-400 actuator control unit. Because of the forces involved, Raymarine recommends professional installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raymarine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55952332980564,"sku":"M81134","price":1912.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9702\/3060\/files\/legacy-5af99c83.jpg?v=1781902420","url":"https:\/\/hudsonmarine.co.uk\/products\/raymarine-type-2-24-volt-autopilot-long-shaft-linear-drive-up-to-20-000kg-displacement-m81134","provider":"Hudson Marine Electronics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
