ST1000 Plus & ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilots
Mounting the cantilever assembly
To mount the cantilever assembly:
1. Temporarily assemble the cantilever by screwing the rod into the mounting
ring.
2. Ensure the tiller pilot is
horizontal
and then mark the location of the mount-
ing ring and its mounting holes.
3. Drill three 6 mm (
1
/
4
in) diameter holes at the positions you have marked.
4. Bed the mounting ring on a thin coat of silicon sealant.
5. Use three 6 mm (
1
/
4
in) diameter bolts, nuts and washers to attach the mount-
ing ring to the backing plate (with the backing plate on the other side of the
mounting surface, as shown above).
6. Screw the rod firmly into place.
7. Roughen the end of the cantilever rod and the inside of the cap to provide a
key. Then apply two part epoxy adhesive to the rod end and the cap.
8. Place the cap over the rod end,
making sure the hole for the tiller pilot
mounting pin faces upwards
. Allow the epoxy adhesive to harden fully
before applying a load.
Note:
When the tiller pilot is not in use, you can unscrew the complete rod assembly to
leave the cockpit unobstructed.
