36 ST1000 Plus & ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilots - Owner’s Handbook
4 Installing the Tiller Pilot
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
