Default Smartcraft rudder position sensor- correct resistance reeding?

On a smartcraft installation, does Anyone know of these are just a 0-200 ohm resistor?
i have an installation that will not allow the use of the OEM part without a complete refabrication, and if I’m doing that, I would rather not pay $250 for a glorified resistor pot.
just need to conform its resistance and wiring colours. I can 3d print something that will fit with a standard resistor for a few dollars

cheers

The Mercury senders are hall-effect but a 0-(180/200)Ohm potentiometer will work. Input is 5 volts and output should be 0.5vdc - 4.5vdc. Red/A is 5 volts, White/B is signal & blue/C is ground.

GF?

I used a 5V TPI sensor for 10€ for Steering im my smartcraft system. The Connector ar the same like most Chevy Oxigen Sensores but you need the Car side.
