Chapter 4: Installing the Tiller Pilot
31
• If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be
removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reas-
sembled in the same position.
EMC suppression ferrites
We supply the fluxgate compass and power cables with suppression ferrites
fitted. Always use these ferrites supplied by Raymarine.
Connections to other equipment
If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable
not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the
cable near to the Raymarine unit.
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
34) or cantilever mount (see page 37).
•
Dimension B = 460 mm (18 in)
: the distance from the rudder stock’s cen-
ter line to the tiller pin
