I am trying to add a steering sensor (rudder angle) to my smartcraft display. I have the correct mercury sensor, but the directions are horrible. I can use any help offered, especially if someone could peak into their engine room to see where their's is mounted and how it is attached to the rudder hardware. Also where the harness is located on the engine to plug into. As per my signature, I have a 2005 32' Sundancer w/ 350 MAG Hor. and V drives. Thanks for your help

I too have inquired on this. I have 2003 320 with inboard 6.2's. I called mercury smartcraft and they said that they do not make a bracket to mount the steerig sensor on inboards and that I have to call Sea Ray to see how they mount it. I placed a call into a dealer yesterday and I am awaiting a call back. If I find out anything I will let you know.

Hey Rich, if you need a hand with the wiring hit me up at the marina. We still haven't met yet, but I did get a chance to meet your neighbor Ted and his wife Mabel. Ted and Ihad to go kill the dang high water alarm on that Formula that got towed in and docked next to you.

That sure is one nice looking boat you've got there, BTW.

Hello Michael
I heard about the Formula that was towed in. I look forward to meeting you-- I am planning on being at the marina on Saturday. I thought I saw your boat a few weeks ago, but it seems to have moved. Stop by my slip if you are around

I found this in the 2007 340 da parts manual page 97

1733142 BRACKET, SS RDR INDCATR W/SCRFT KIT

I think this may be the bracket they use to mount the steering sensor.

Anybody have a picture of this bracket?

This is the diagram Sea ray emailed me about the bracket

Have you ordered the bracket? If so, do you have a part #. I have the steering sensor, but I need the bracket. The bracket I have is for I/O. Who did you call to get this picture sent to you. I called two dealers and neither one called me back.
