I am fitting a rudder reference unit for the Autohelm on my ’01 SO 34.2, it really doesn’t work very well and Autohelm assured me at the boat show that the rudder reference unit would solve my problems. Anyhow, this requires that I fix one end of the unit to the steering quadrant, hidden just under the cockpit floor. It seems to me that given the very restricted space the easiest thing is to remove the quadrant to fit the Autohelm bit. Now comes the question, as the boat is back in the water what stops the rudder just falling out of the boat? It’s difficult to see what actually stops it doing this and I am wondering if it’s the quadrant its self.
