In my attempts to gather information to assist me in installing my new M81105 on my sailboat, I came across this link:

I appreciate that this forum is now longer active; however, the information that it contains is germane to my project. The dilemma I have pertains to the maximum angle that the Rudder Position Sensor can physically rotate. From the link, it seems, at least for this gentleman's application (EV-100), the maximum is 30° in each direction or a total of 60°.
On the instruction sheet that accompanied my sensor it shows the "Maximum permitted travel +/-60°". I take this as +/-60° from center or a total of 120° stop to stop. My rudder quadrant rotates approximately 90° from stop to stop. Please confirm that the Rudder Position Sensor can rotate greater than the 90° needed by the quadrant?
I will be electrically interfacing the M81105 to a SPX-5 Course Computer.
Thanks
