Folks,
I'm looking at installing a tiller pilot on my boat.
But I've come up against a bit of a conundrum.
The install guide says the pilot needs to be 46 cm along the tiller from the tillerstock.
But I've got a curved tiller handle .. that slopes up from the ground to above sitting height.
So the only place I can put the pin in the handle to allow the pilot to be mounted horizontally across the seat ...is about 56 cm from tillerstock.
It says in the manual
"The dimensions should be adhered to as closely as possible. Some tolerance on the distance from the tillerstock is permissible, but the Tillerpilot may require a Seastate adjustment to compensate."
I'm just wondering if that extra 10cm distance is feasible.. or a stretch too far...
Thanks
