Sharp Tiller Mate

Hi
Ive recently acquired a Sharp Tiller Mate. Does anyone have an operating manual for it. A scan would be good.
Many thanks

I can't look at your photo on my phone but I have what I think is a tillermate. Its a sort of rope clamp that fits on the tiller. Turning the knob one way tightens the clamp and the other way loosens it. The rope is fixed either side of the cockpit.
If I'm talking about the wrong thing, please ignore.
PS I've bought a s/h tiller pilot so doubt if I'll be using the clamp thing.

Hi
Many thanks for the reply.
I think yours is different.
This one is a 1970s electo-mechanical device. That sails to a compass setting hopefully a bit like a modern autohelm.

The photo on this listing might help to understand what the various knobs do
