Without brackets and pins.
The actuator peaks at 4.5 Amps current @ 12 volts under heavy load.

Normal operation is max 2 Amps when moving under normal loads.
During operation in regular conditions the current draw is 0.3 Amps on average @ 12 volts.

This linear actuator must be disconnected from the rudder before you can manually steer again.

The actuator used is the same as Pelagic and thus well-proven for its use case. The actuator is the Wuxi Hongba HB-DJ809 with some special additions. The cable is 200 cm and has a better waterproof connector. It also features position feedback in the form of a variable resistance, just like any rudder feedback unit out there. This removes the need for a separate rudder position sensor.
