Every time the rudder changes direction is a new cycle, which is not very long at sea. You can get much more expensive ones rated up to 10 million cycles which would be good for years? hall sensors are actually cheaper and easier to waterproof and don't wear out.
ya a spent a $20 Canadian. i will check out a hall sensor i was going to pot the the unit after it is setup. could you recommand 1 it needs to be small ie under 17mm.
