Raymarine ST1000 Plus & ST2000 Plus manual Installing the tiller pin and mounting socket

36 ST1000 Plus & ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilots - Owner’s Handbook

4.2 Installing the tiller pin and mounting socket

CAUTION:

As the tiller pilot has a built-in compass, make sure that the boat’s steering compass is at least 750 mm (2 ft 6 in) away to avoid deviation.

Measuring the critical dimensions

The tiller pilot is mounted between the tiller and a fixed point on the structure of your boat.Two dimensions are critical to ensure correct installation:

•Dimension A = 589 mm (23.2 in): the distance from the mounting socket to the tiller pin

Note: This dimension increases if your installation requires a pushrod extension (see page 38) or cantilever mount (see page 41).

•Dimension B = 460 mm (18 in): the distance from the rudder stock’s center line to the tiller pin
