Chapter 2: Installing the system 11
X-5 connection overview
The X-5 course computer provides the following system connections.
2.4 Install the Tiller Drive
Drive type
The correct Tiller drive unit type is dependent on the fully laden displacement of the
vessel.
• For vessels up to 6 tonnes fully laden displacement, use the standard tiller drive.
• For vessels up to 7.5 tonnes fully laden displacement, use the GP tiller drive.
Note: The actual laden displacement for a vessel can be up to 20% greater than the manufac-
turer’s published displacement figures.
Mounting requirements
The Tiller Drive must be mounted:
• Horizontally
• So that when the tiller is centered, the drive axis is at 90 degrees to the tiller axis.
Drive unit position
The tiller pin and drive socket can be mounted between 356 mm and 457 mm (14” -
18”) from the centre of the rudder stock.
For quicker rudder response in vessels requiring faster turn rates (e.g. lighter
displacement vessels), install the tiller pin and drive pedestal closer to the rudder
stock, to a minimum of 356 mm (14").
