Simrad TP10 installation help required

[colhel]

Some very good ideas here.

Took it down to the boat at lunchtime to see how it fits and noticed that I could turn the connecting headupside down so that I could mount the Pilot underneath.

The pin seems to fit tight and I dont see it falling off in a hurry. The plan would be to fabricate a longer pin and weld it through a plate with screw holes, so the pin can be both glued and screwed into the underside of the tiller. Pilot would sit the right way up, with a small block with the cup in it.

Has anybody done this (I seem to remmeber ColHel saying somthing along these lines??)

My socket was in a block of wood to raise it up to the tiller height. I removed this but still have it. You're welcome too it (if I can find it), the socket is 3/8" bore and the block of wood raised it by about 2". My tiller pilot mod involved fabricating a an assembly to attach to the rudder stock, but I don't think this would fit your boat.

I'm buying the Simrad TP 10 for my 2004 Cornish Shrimper 19. My question is can the TP 10 be adjusted out further then the required 23.5 in when installing. My location my require ainch more or so. Just trying to figure out the right bracket to buy for installation.
Thanks
Joe

You can buy extensions for them. In theory the black end but unscrews and you screw the extension on.
