Chapter 4: Installing the Tiller Pilot 37
4 Installing the Tiller Pilot
To measure the critical dimensions:
1. Clamp the tiller on the boat’s center line.
2. Mark dimensions A and B and use masking tape to locate the
fixing points.
Note: For standard installations, dimension A is measured on the
starboard side of the cockpit. If you need to mount the tiller pilot on
the port side of the cockpit, you can measure dimension A to port.
However you will need to reverse the tiller pilot’s operating sense
when you have completed installation (see page 52).
3. Make sure that:
• dimensions A and B are at right angles to each other (as
shown on the diagram opposite)
• the tiller pilot is mounted horizontally
Basic installation
After establishing control dimensions A and B, you can usually
mount the tiller pilot directly onto the cockpit seat.
