ïWhen it is necessary to attach the autopilot to a vertical face, such as
the cockpit sidewall, a cantilever socket assembly must be used.
ïThe maximum extension offset is 254†mm (10†in).
ïThe cantilever is cut to the exact length during mounting.
1. Clamp the tiller on the yacht centre line.
2. Measure dimension F (actual).
3. Refer to the table to establish a cutting length for cantilever rod ñ
double check measurements before cutting.
4. Cut the cantilever rod to length L using a hacksaw. Measure from
threaded end. Remove any burrs with a file.
5. Temporarily assemble the cantilever by screwing the rod into the
mounting flange.
6. Ensure the drive unit is horizontal and mark off the location of the
mounting flange.
7. Mark and drill three 6†mm (1/4†in) clearance holes (ignore the two
inner holes).
