having an issue with the rudder displacement/position indicator system on my 2001 510 Sundancer. I replaced the indicator on the rudder control arms. The new unit works fine as indicated by the read out on my auto pilot control head. Means the data is getting to the auto pilot. All good but I can't get the SeaRay analog rudder position guage to register any rudder position. This is the little guage located between the tachometers. I checked it for power; that's OK. The simrad J300x has an "in" terminal for the wire running from the rudder position sensor; nothing that would send data to the analog guage. Is there a splitter or some kind of wiring terminal that the rudder positioning sending unit feeds into; then one wire going to the auto pilot and another to the instrument panel guage. How dose the rudder position guage in the dash get rudder position data?
