Yes, raymarine rotary drive, type I or II. It drives the wheel shaft through a chain and sprockets.

I would imagine a belt drive would work fine on that.. maybe better than a cable drive rudder.

Funny, but you steer, mainly from the side.
And with Mariners, they are balanced well so you hardly have to steer at all.

Re: What Is This Called? Traditional Wheel Position?
Not sure what year, M32 you have.
Mine has a rack and beveled pinion gear, very simple.
Also accessed thru the cockpit locker, there a lot of room underneath for a hydraulic ram, or mechanical ram.
You may research this as it will be protected better and adds nothing to the cockpit area, as in chains, sprockets, belts or adaptation to align these components.
If your going on a long cruise Oceanside, use a self steering wind vane.
These boats track well.

That one was probably built by Far East Yachts, I assume your on The Owners Website.
Will look for pictures,
Mine was built in California, when C.Oberly took the business to America.
She's a Mariner, I've been diving in and doing the things that needed doing😕
She's is a Happier Vessel for he effort.
You have Wood Spars?
Mine came with, LaFiel, aluminum masts, I'm a little skittish about a lot of Wood.
I'm more of a Fabricator/Mechanic so those wood skills are still fledgling.
New Zealand is on my places to go list, top 5. 😊

Yeah built by Far East in Japan. Yes she is on the Mariners assosation website, on the home page as "featured Mariner"! :-D .. I havnt updated the owners page, she is needing a full repaint, and other not to Major reapairs, she's already had the cabin replaced and decks repaired, which seams to be the biggest concern with the M32 ... No, she has aluminium masts :-) ... You should definitely find your way to nz... some of the best cruising in the world ;-)
