    Hi Doug,

    Well spotted, I am a newbie. I built a 1 metre North Atlantic trawler 25 years ago but things have changed since then. Very grateful for your input, hopefully I can now move on with the project.

    Cheers

    Hi Graham,
    Thanks for getting back to me.
    I have it linked to the left hand sprung stick but I get the 2 turns when I push up and 1 3/4 in the opposite direction when I pull down. I'm puzzled.
    I hope yours are all okay when you get them.

    Cheers John

    I am building an Amati "Dorade" sailing boat. The sail servo only does 2 turns one way and 1 3/4 the other when it should be 3 turns. I am sure there is a simple solution but what is it ?
    I look forward to someones advice.

    Hello Clive,

    I am happy to share any info I receive. My main problem is space and how to get into it, but I am sure someone will come up with the answer.

    Thank you for your reply. I have attached some photos which I hope assist. My problem is siting the servos, battery and receiver where they can be easily got at and waterproofed.
    I look forward to hearing peoples views.
