Thanks Peter, but I'm looking for the Monitor MURD.

Setting up the monitor properly will definitely improve its performance,
friction and proper line tension is the key.

Of course trimming the boat, as you know also is necessary before engaging
the vane.

thanks,
rit

  Oops!!! I've got a Sailomat with the emergency
  rudder, not a Scanmar. Sorry about that.

  I've currently got a Monitor (Scanmar) installed. It
  doesn't work for beans with the wheel on My Pearson
  35. I'm going to re-route the way the PO set up the
  steering control lines and see if that solves the
  problem. If it doesn't, the monitor will be for sale
  and I'll install the Sailomat.

  If that doesn't work, I'll dump the wheel and go to a
  tiller. My experience with pendulum servo self
  steering vanes is they will steer the boat if the boat
  will sail. Always had a tiller with my other PS
  steered boats, however. May be a problem with the
  wheel and my very high expectations, based on previous
  experience, of what a PS system can do with a tiller.

  In any case, if you want pictures of the Sailomat
  emergency rudder sytem let me know.

  Aloha
