Funny you should ask....
Hey Tom,You may remember from that thread that there was a guy who got a free rudder transducer from Raymarine. That guy is me. Well, lo and behold, the free transducer I got was faulty. I have to box it up & ship it back to Raymarine and I just haven't gotten around to doing it. Before I decided to do that, though, I got the test data needed to determine if the unit was broken. Here are the correct values for each wire:There are 4 wires that come out of the unit. The Gray wire is a ground. That leaves a green, red & blue wire that connect to the back of the autopilot control head. Resistance between the green & red should be a constant 5,000 ohms.Resistance between the green & blue should vary from 0 to 5,000 ohms as the transducer is turned from one end to the other. The 0 ohm value can correspond to either the port or starboard side. If, when you connect the transducer, the control head thinks the rudder is in the opposite direction, you can switch the green & blue wires on the back of the control head & that will solve the problem.Again, Raymarine offered a rudder transducer to me for free. It's worth asking for one before going through the trouble to build one. Just my 2 cents.Fair Winds,Allen Schweitzers/v FalstaffC-30 Hull# 632
