The S2G will easily drive the wheel drive unit, with plenty of power to spare; the original setup would have used the S1G course computer. What will you use for a control head? If you need to source the wheel drive unit or other parts, let me know and I can help you. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- Bayfield, WI On Jul 13, 2017, at 9:53 AM, Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Make SURE you set the limits with the rudder reference so that the autopilot does not ever get to the stops. The AH4000 and descendants have current limiting and/or pulsing to keep from burning up the motor at the stops, the big computer does not.

I have an old trusty Raymarine S2G (150G) course computer sitting around that I bought long ago to replace my Simrad WP30. The original plan was to install a below deck drive mainly because of added security (backup steering system) but I don't think it is worth the trouble since 30-1 doesn't have a lot of space around the Edson quadrant so I'm thinking of just installing a wheel drive unit instead (ST4000). The 150G manual doesn't mention the wheel drive units but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work since wheel drives pull a lot less current that below the deck units. I will be installing the rudder reference sensor. Any thoughts? Cheers, Aaron R.
