Common Question of Simrad RF300
What is the RF300 feedback?
The Simrad RF300 is a rudder-feedback sensor for compatible autopilot systems. It reports steering position to the course computer, allowing the system to monitor rudder movement. Confirm mounting alignment, mechanical linkage, connection type, calibration, power supply, and marine autopilot controller compatibility before installation.
What does rudder feedback do?
Rudder feedback provides steering-position information to the autopilot computer for heading corrections. Confirm sensor travel, linkage alignment, steering limits, connection method, calibration, and control-unit compatibility before commissioning. Correct feedback installation supports accurate steering response.
Does it control an anchor?
No. The RF300 monitors rudder position and does not operate a gypsy, drum, chain motor, or anchor rope. It is not an anchor windlass component. Verify separate controls for marine anchor retrieval.
