I don't think cutting the rudder tube
I don't think cutting the rudder tube would be my first choice. I will
probably go with attachment to the quadrant, even though there are risks
associated with that , also. Thanks for your help.

I’m pretty sure I have the same setup as Ken, using an Octopus linear drive
connected to the quadrant. The drive is on a shelf inside the port-side access
hatch next to the helm seat.
I should be getting the Enterprise back this weekend and I’ll take some photos
for you. I won’t bother with
That’s a Simrad linear hydraulic drive:

I suspect if you try for Josh's set up you'll likely have to drop the
rudder to take to a machine shop to cut a key-way into it as there isn't
likely to be a slot for a key where you will need it.

That looks very stout. We don't have the plywood bulkhead running from the
rudder tube back to the transom on out boat. That would certainly help
make up for any loss of strength from cutting the rudder tube.
Our mount for the ram is similar to what Josh has but the ram is much
higher up, in

Hi Josh,
The fibreglass tube my rudder shaft passes through is continuous from the
hull to the floor of the cockpit and so provides no place to mount an arm
below deck. I like this arrangement as it results in no opening into the
interior of the hull from the rudder tube below deck (except for a

There is normally also a small rod connecting the rudder position sensor to
the quadrant but it was removed before we took these photos.

Sea Hawk came with a simrad package already installed. There is a shelf
which appears to be 3/4 plywood encapsulated and glassed to the hull under
the stbd propane locker. The hydraulic piston is mounted to the shelf and
drives a bronze arm attached to the rudder shaft. The feedback positionner

That’s a standard Edson autopilot tiller arm; it’s the preferred way of
attaching the ram to the rudder post below-decks, assuming you’ve got enough
room to do that. Some of our CCs, mine included, won’t allow that luxury, so
the pilot’s ram needs to be attached (preferably to a reinforcement

The means of access is through the aft berth. If you perform the install
with the boat in the water you'll have to use something like a pipe cutter
since the rudder shaft will be in the way. I have heard of being able to
attach a strong rope to the rudder bail and lowering the rudder out of,

This looks great. I was thinking about doing the exact same setup on my

I like that better than cutting the rudder post tube except that I have

quadrant was not recommended.. It
Ken,
Before I get beat up too bad about the pros and cone of my arrangement I'll

implementation. Additionally I have had little or no trouble with the

This also can act as a nice backup if your quadrant somehow fails, allowing you
to still steer the boat.

Is the rudder shaft exposed under the deck (I haven't crawled down
