Auto tiller


 

Procured a nice Authelm AH 800 micro for $80 from a club member yesterday.

Have been monitoring ePray for months when I saw this posted at the club. Was looking for a Simrad as the power plug would have been a match, but i'll retrofit this spring.

The PO used a cantilever mount in the combing, unfortunately i dont't have the hardware...i might try to tap a new cantilever bracket or drill a new hole for the mounting pin on the deck aft the turning block.

So now two projects so far...

That's a good upgrade - autohelms do really well on this boat because they are so balanced. I have the low-end Raymarine one (ST 1000?)- my mounting socket is?on top of?the starboard coaming. I had to get a 7 inch extension to make it work right, but it's a handy installation. Measure twice, drill once, everything has to be just right if you want it to work right. Also, if you have any speakers out there they have to be several feet away or the magnetics will drive it bonkers. I made that mistake on a previous boat : ) !
I couldn't live without my autohelm.
