It may sometimes be necessary to attach the
autopilot to a vertical face such as the cockpit
sidewall. In this case, a special cantilever
mounting is available and is particularly
convenient when the tiller is pos
substantially higher than the level of the cockpit
seat. Full instructions are supplied with each
cantilever mounting kit. The standard cantilever
mounting kit allows the autopilot mounting socket
set by a maximum of 10” (250mm) from the
vertical mounting face. This maximum dimension may
be reduced by cutting the cantilever to length
during installation. The cantilever screws into a
permanently mounted base which is bolted into
position by three ¼” (6mm) stainless steel bolts.
er may be unscrewed from its permanent
mounting base to allow unobstructed working space
when the autopilot is not in use.
Pedestal mounting
In certain cases it may be convenient to raise the
height of the autopilot mounting socket above the
or counter for example. Standard
pedestal assemblies are available to raise the
mounting height from 1½” to 3½" above the mounting
surface in ½" (12.5mm) increments. The pedestal
base is bolted into position by three ¼” (6mm)
stainless steel bolts. When t
use the pedestal may be unscrewed from its base to
allow clear working space when necessary.
