[Rhodes22-list] Autopilot Setup

[William E. Wickman]

I used two extensions.  I "think" that they were 3" and 5".  I remember
that they didn't make a single extension long enough (I think the longest
one is 6 inches).  Before ordering the extensions, the best thing to do is
to use the directions that come with the tiller pilot and get a good
measurement after you mark the spot where you are going to set the pin cup.

Do you remember How many extensions and what length they were to make the
setup fit properly ??
