[. . . ] If the structure at the mounting position is less than 25 mm (1 in) thick, reinforce the underside with plywood bonded into position. Fix the mounting socket in place using a two part epoxy. 34 ST1000 Plus & ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilots CAUTION: As the tiller pilot is capable of generating high pushrod loads, you MUST: · drill all holes to the specified size and reinforce where necessary · allow the epoxy to harden thoroughly before applying a load Installation accessories If you are not able to install the tiller pilot directly onto the cockpit seat or tiller as described, one (or a combination) of the following installation accessories: · · · · · pushrod extensions tiller brackets cantilever sockets pedestal sockets alternative tiller pins Pushrod Extensions If you need to increase the pushrod length (because of the distance from the mounting socket location to the center line), use a Raymarine pushrod extension. Identifying the correct pushrod extension 1. Clamp the tiller on the boat's center line. Select the appropriate pushrod extension length (and part number) using the following table. Dimension C 589 mm (23. 2 in) 615 mm (24. 2 in) 640 mm (25. 2 in) 665 mm (26. 2 in) 691 mm (27. 2 in) 716 mm (28. 2 in) 742 mm (29. 2 in) Pushrod extension length L Standard dimension 25 mm (1 in) 51 mm (2 in) 76 mm (3 in) 102 mm (4 in) 107 mm (5 in) 152 mm (6 in) Part no. D003 D004 D005 D006 D007 D008 Chapter 4: Installing the Tiller Pilot 35 C L D3193-2 Mounting the pushrod extension To mount the pushrod extension: 1. Unscrew the end of the tiller pilot's pushrod. Screw the pushrod end into the pushrod extension. Tiller brackets If the tiller is higher or lower than the mounting socket, you can use a Raymarine tiller bracket to vary the tiller pin offset so the pilot is horizontal. Identifying the correct tiller bracket 1. Clamp the tiller on the boat's center line. Measure dimension D (if the pushrod is above the tiller) or dimension E (if the pushrod is below the tiller). Select the appropriate bracket from the following table: Dimension D (pushrod below tiller) 25 mm (1 in) 51 mm (2 in) 76 mm (3 in) Dimension E (pushrod above tiller) 51 mm (2 in) 76 mm (3 in) 102 mm (4 in) Bracket part no. D009 D010 D011 36 Dimension D (pushrod below tiller) 102 mm (4 in) 127 mm (5 in) ST1000 Plus & ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilots Dimension E (pushrod above tiller) 127 mm (5 in) 152 mm (6 in) Bracket part no. D159 D160 D D3194-2 E D3195-2 Chapter 4: Installing the Tiller Pilot 37 Mounting the tiller bracket 1. Position the tiller bracket on the center line of the tiller (above or below) and establish the critical dimensions A and B Note: To measure dimension B on a boat with a sloping rudderstock, refer to the diagram on page 31. 2. Mark the centers of the two bracket mounting holes. Drill two 6 mm (1/4 in) diameter holes through the center line of the tiller at the positions you have marked. Attach the tiller bracket using two 6 mm (1/4 in) diameter bolts, nuts and washers. Bond the fixing bolts in place with two part epoxy adhesive 6. When the epoxy is completely hardened, fully tighten the nuts. Attach the tiller pin to the bracket. Cantilever mounting If you need to attach the tiller pilot to a vertical face (such as the cockpit sidewall), use a Raymarine cantilever socket assembly (part number D031): · the maximum possible extension offset is 254 mm (10 in) · you cut the cantilever to the exact length during mounting Cutting the cantilever rod to length 1. Clamp the tiller on the boat's center line.
