I don't think cutting the rudder
I don't think cutting the rudder tube would be my first choice. I will
probably go with attachment to the quadrant, even though there are risks
associated with that , also. Thanks for your help.

Hi Josh,
Now I understand that you had to cut the rudder post housing in order
to use the standard Edson arm. Thanks for the pictures.

I suspect if you try for Josh's set up you'll likely have to drop the
rudder to take to a machine shop to cut a key-way into it as there isn't
likely to be a slot for a key where you will need it.

If we ever do replace the Simrad Control Head and associated Robertson

I’m pretty sure I have the same setup as Ken, using an Octopus linear drive
connected to the quadrant. The drive is on a shelf inside the port-side access
hatch next to the helm seat.

That looks very stout. We don't have the plywood bulkhead running from the
rudder tube back to the transom on out boat. That would certainly help
make up for any loss of strength from cutting the rudder tube.
Our mount for the ram is similar to what Josh has but the ram is much
higher up, in the

This also can act as a nice backup if your quadrant somehow fails, allowing you
to still steer the boat.

This looks great. I was thinking about doing the exact same setup on my
34+. The quadrant configuration is identical.
I like that better than cutting the rudder post tube except that I have
read on the Edson site that mounting a hydraulic ram directly to the
quadrant was not recommended.. It s
The means of access is through the aft berth. If you perform the install
with the boat in the water you'll have to use something like a pipe cutter
since the rudder shaft will be in the way. I have heard of being able to
attach a strong rope to the rudder "bail" and lowering the rudder out of,

Ken,
Before I get beat up too bad about the pros and cone of my arrangement I'll
reenforce the fact that I had nothing to do with the design or
implementation. Additionally I have had little or no trouble with the
system and/or the function of the boat.
Now that the disclaimer is out of the way,
Hi Josh,
Is the rudder shaft exposed under the deck (I haven't crawled down
there yet), where you can clamp the bronze arm?

That’s a standard Edson autopilot tiller arm; it’s the preferred way of
attaching the ram to the rudder post below-decks, assuming you’ve got enough
room to do that. Some of our C&Cs, mine included, won’t allow that luxury, so
the pilot’s ram needs to be attached (preferably to a reinforcement
Hi Josh,
The fibreglass tube my rudder shaft passes through is continuous from the
hull to the floor of the cockpit and so provides no place to mount an arm

interior of the hull from the rudder tube below deck (except for a

Let me know if this link works to a couple of photos:

There is normally also a small rod connecting the rudder position sensor to
the quadrant but it was removed before we took these photos.

Gary,
The Enterprise came with a Robertson autopilot installed. The ram is installed
on a shelf inside the access area on the port side next to the helm seat and
connects to the steering quadrant.
I should be getting the boat back this week and I'll take some pictures for
you.

I just bought a 37 Plus and want to install a below deck autopilot. Has
anyone done this? I am interested in the details of how (and where) to
mount the ram. Pictures would be wonderful.
