3.5 Typical Constellation drive installation
1. Mounting the drive and connecting to the steering
system
Complete a steering check
Before you secure the drive to your boat, you must first check
the suitability of the mounting location.
Attach the drive to a suitable mounting position with M8 bolts,
washers and lock nuts
Use Loctite™ or similar on threads.
2. Sprocket alignment
Attach chain.
Both sprockets must be accurately aligned to run in the
same plane when viewed from the side. Check for correct
alignment by holding a 'straight edge' between the edges of
the sprockets.
The Drive Unit can slide Fore and Aft +/- 6 mm to align the
chain sprockets.
Adjusting the chain tension
Adjust the chain tension until it is just tight, so there is minimal
lost motion between the drive sprocket and the rudder stock.
To adjust chain tension use the turnbuckle to take up the slack.
Ensure the locknuts are tightened afterwards to maintain this
position
Note: If the chain tension is not set correctly, the resulting lost
motion will impair steering performance.
Over tension will diminish drive performance and reduce feel
when manual helming.

the chain completely from the steering unit.
2. Mount drive to base.
Position the mounting bracket over the studs on the base plate &
secure lightly with M8 nuts and washers.
