Basic installation
After establishing control dimensions A and B, you can usually mount the tiller
pilot directly onto the cockpit seat.
Installing the tiller pin
1. Drill a 6 mm (
1
/
4
in) diameter hole to a depth of 25 mm (1 in) at the fixing point
you have marked on the tiller.
2. Use a two part epoxy (e.g. Araldite) to fix the tiller pin in place.
3. Position the shoulder of the pin so it is 12.5 mm (
1
/
2
in) above the tiller surface.
Installing the mounting socket
1. Drill a 12.5 mm (
1
/
2
in) hole to a depth of 25 mm (1 in) at the fixing point you
have marked on the cockpit seat.
2. If the structure at the mounting position is less than 25 mm (1 in) thick, rein-
force the underside with plywood bonded into position.
3. Fix the mounting socket in place using a two part epoxy.
