Chapter 4: Installing the Tiller Pilot | 37 |
To measure the critical dimensions:
1.Clamp the tiller on the boat’s center line.
2.Mark dimensions A and B and use masking tape to locate the fixing points.
Note: For standard installations, dimension A is measured on the starboard side of the cockpit. If you need to mount the tiller pilot on the port side of the cockpit, you can measure dimension A to port.
However you will need to reverse the tiller pilot’s operating sense when you have completed installation (see page 52).
3.Make sure that:
•dimensions A and B are at right angles to each other (as shown on the diagram opposite)
•the tiller pilot is mounted horizontally
Basic installation
After establishing control dimensions A and B, you can usually mount the tiller pilot directly onto the cockpit seat.
