Product Details
SmartStick Non-contact Rudder Feedback for Simrad Applications (AR4502SI) by Seastar Solutions®. SmartStick is a non-contact autopilot position sensor that mounts to SeaStar Solutions® outboard front mount cylinders (HC5345, HC5358*). The new SmartStick models replace the previous generation AR4102 and AR4202 models.
Notes
- HC5358 must be installed on Yamaha and Evinrude engines with AR4502 series SmartSticks to ensure adequate clearance. Installing AR4502 series with HC5345 on Yamaha and Evinrude outboards may result in interference between the sensor and the cylinder.
