Roberston AP1000 and rudder indicator

[Xfirepop]

I have a functioning Roberston AP1000 autopilot and want to add a rudder angle indicator to the helm. Is it possible to tap off the rudder wiring? If I can which brand of rudder indicator would I need to purchase?

I don’t know about the Robertson 1000, but many APs send their rudder position info out on one or more NMEA 0183 or 2000 ports so that is can be used/displayed by other devices. You might look into whether the Robertson 1000 can do that.

Thanks for that tip, I'm looking into adding a NMEA system to the boat anyway, so now is the time!
