Chapter 4: Installing the Tiller Pilot

47

The tiller pilot requires its own dedicated power supply – it cannot source its power from SeaTalk.

Power should be taken directly from the boat’s central distribution panel and protected with a 12 A fuse or equivalent circuit breaker.

The following table shows the minimum cable size acceptable for the power supply:

IMPORTANT:

Correct power cable size is critical for correct autopilot operation. If in doubt, use a heavier gauge cable than specified. A lighter gauge cable might cause a voltage drop between the supply and the autopilot. This will reduce the power at the tiller.
