I use one to drive a
Raymarine Motor/Clutch/sprocket drive on the
steering cables, which alsao overloads the outputs when connected directly.
I found that electromechanical relays won´t work because it is a pulsed output and they don't react fast enough. I made up a simple solid state power amplifier which works fine.
However it does need a
rudder position
sensor which you can make with a potentiometer if you don´t want to buy one.
I can supply you with full details of how to make those units, but not until I get back to the
boat in January.
