I'm about to upgrade my Raymarine autopilot from wheel drive to hydraulic drive. Has anyone connected the hydraulic arm to the drive wheel? I have the rudder position sensor already installed from the older version, but unsure about how to attach the hydraulic arm to the rudder drive (?) wheel without having to buy and install a short tiller arm.

I don't think you will have any choice but to install a short tiller arm on the rudder post. That's what was done when I converted to a type 1 linear drive from a wheel pilot.

Do you happen to know the rudder shaft diameter? I'm out of town and want to order it before I get home.
