installation autopilot linear drive to steering quadrant Ocean 47

[blue-max]

 I now have a short shaft Raymarine linear drive autopilot. I am a bit baffled by the way its going to be fitted. The steering quadrant is very  high up  and the only possible space for the drive looks to  be in a lazarette. I have got another quadrant which  I though to  fit to  the rudder shaft lower down but there is a problem with snagging the steering cables. Has any one done this installation?

Suggest you look at using a separate tiller arm for the drive rather than the quadrant
