Can anybody confirm max rudder angles on 439. Trying calibrate previously owned boat set at 25 and 45?

I have max rudder angle set to 25 on my 439. The rudder was initially set with higher max on one side than the other during auto pilot calibration. Turned out the rudder angle sensor was installed too close to a bulk head and was bending somewhat when hard over as it pressed against the structure. I moved the sensor just far enough to get clearance then recalibrated. Now I have both side set the same.

I have a SO 419 with the Raymarine autopilot. My original max rudder settings were not effective.
Background: I'm running SignalK connected to the Raymarine backplane so I have access to the raw data from the rudder sensor.
The rudder sensor was not setup correctly when I got my boat. From the Raymarine controls, you can set an offset up to 9 degrees. Mine was out much more. So I went below and adjusted the rod that connects the rudder angle sensor until the offset was less than 9 degrees. Then I used the offset to tweak out the last bit. When I turn lock to lock, I have 30 deg either side so I set the max angle in the autopilot to 27 deg. CAVEAT: the angles are from memory which is not my strongest attribute.
