[Rhodes22-list] ST1000+ Tiller Pilot

[David Rasberry]

In principle, the tiller pilot arm has to be long enough to reach the
centerline of the cockpit from the pedestal base when in its centered
position. Since the Rhodes cockpit is wider than typical for small boats, it
doesn't seem too unusual for it to need a longer extension if you mount it
on the gunnel.

    Hi group,
    Started to install the Raymarine St1000+ on the startboard gunnel per
FAQ info.  The 3" pedestal base would be close to the captain's chair, but
it still clears....but I find that I would need a third 5" extension for the
reach to the tiller.  Am I trying to install it in the wrong place?  An
extension of 15" seems a bit much. Appreciate any info, picture would be
worth a thousand words.
    Thanks
