Our 2006 Oceanuis 343 the Raymarine autopilot is not working how do we mount new rudder indicator sensor? Would love to be able to use it again.

What's wrong with the autopilot? Also the rudder sensor is adjacent to the rudder quadrant - just swap it out.

The Raymarine rudder sensor was originally installed in a odd way. The sensor arm was attached to a fitting installed on the rudder cable below the helm. It never allowed the wheel to fully rotate and eventually broke off its fitting. I don"t think the original mounting of the rudder sensor was done in a way that would last. We have had a couple of "marine electronics" techs look at it and to date know one has come up with a good solution.
Looking for ideas...

Tough to imagine the space or location without seeing it. Can you send us a pic of the area?
On my B381 I had to construct a 'shelf' to mount the rudder sensor so it connected directly to the quadrant. I made the shelf out or teak and fiberglass.
