Warning: The Tillerpilot houses an internal fluxgate compass
and should therefore be mounted away from sources of
magnetic interference, such as the vessel’s steering compass or
external loudspeakers. The minimum safe distance is 1m (3ft 3in).
The Tillerpilot is mounted using a supplied tillerpin and mounting
cup, which allows the unit to be fitted and stowed easily.
To fit the tillerpin, drill a 6.3 mm
(0.25 in) hole in the tiller (ensure
that this is on the centerline of
the tiller and is vertical). Drill to
a depth that allows only the top
18 mm (0.75 in) to protrude. Fix in
place using an epoxy adhesive.
To fit the mounting cup, drill a
12.7 mm (0.5 in) hole into the
cockpit seat and mount, so
that only the flange protrudes.
Ensure the cup is a tight fit
(use an epoxy adhesive) and
is supported over its entire
depth – if necessary, reinforce
the underside of the cockpit
seat with hardwood or marine
plywood.
¼ Note: Due to the high loads exerted, do not fit the Tillerpilot to the
mounting cup and pin until the adhesive has completely set.
