The basic actuator unit is a totally self-
contained
magnetic sensing automatic pilot. The autopilot is
mounted between the tiller and a single a
ttachment
point to the yacht's structure. After connection to
the yacht's 12 volt electrical system the unit
becomes operational.
Since the autopilot incorporates a magnetic sensing
device, it is advisable to ensure that the yacht's
steering compass is s
ituated at least 2'6” (750mm)
away to avoid deviation.
The actuator pushrod attaches to the tiller via a
ball-
ended pin situated 18” (460mm) radially
distant from the rudder stock or rudder pintle
centreline.
If the rudder pivot axis is sloping, the p
osition
of the ball-
radius of l8” (460mm) at 90 degrees to the axis of
rudder rotation as shown on the accompanying
illustration.
The autopilot slots into the bronze mounting socket
A provided, which should be permanantl
y fixed in
position. The mounting socket should be positioned
19” (480mm) to starboard
of the cockpit centreline
to ensure that port and starboard tiller movements
are equalised. It is also important to ensure that
the unit is positioned horizontally and as near as
possible to 90 degrees to the tiller when the
tiller is centralised.
