[Rhodes22-list] connecting Ray Marine ST1000

[peter klappert]

Chris--

Thanks. In addition to my cell not working in Edenton, I left my laptop in DC.

How to install/wire the auto-tiller turned out to involve many circular discussions. I was trying to follow Bill Wickman's setup, which is also the one in a PS review of auto-tillers. 

But I'm persuaded to install mine as Stan & Mark wanted to all along, using a cantilever bracket that mounts to the cockpit wall/seatback. I assumed the bracket would just be in the way when not using the auto-tiller, but it turns out the bracket's in 2 parts and the bracket itself is removable. The cable to the gps (and to an NMEA receiver if I were installing one) is wired directly to the inside of the socket for the bracket.  We're using your suggestion for the power plug.

Despite the heat (103 degrees Friday) my 3rd trip to GB was great. Mostly I went down to bring electronics
& confer on their installation. It was exciting to finally board my boat, even if it is still inside the factory.

Also got out on Albemarle Sound for some sailing with Stan, who is--of course--a laid-back & very good sailing instructor. Just as fine, finally met the remarkable Rose--indeed, had a dinner of crab-stuffed flounder with the two of them at a place called Waterman's.

I'd been on the R22 3 times before--with Lee, with you at Annapolis, & with Mac McCready and Chris Geankoplis when Chris was in town a few weeks ago. I noticed a pattern: I was always so delighted to be sailing again after a quarter century, and the gear was so foreign to me (the most sophisticated thing I'd ever used was a clam cleat!), that I was too blitzed by it all to absorb anything about actually handling the R22. I think those were necessary preliminary experiences and they certainly were fun, but I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever feel competent on my own. Now I'm very eager to get my boat launched in Apollo Beach.

Best

P

Someone I cared for 

Someone I cared for
put it to me: Who
do you think you are?

I went down the list
of all the many
possibilities

carefully — did it
twice — but couldn't find
a plausible one.

That was when I knew 
for the first time who
in fact I wasn't.

I had NTS electonics install mine at Herrington Harbor North in Deale Maryland and I think they just followed the diagram to connect the wires.  BTW I located my plug for the tiller pillot just under the cockpit bench so it is out of the way and out of the weather and they shortened the cord so I didn't have too much hanging out.

This is Peter Klappert using Stan's Apple computer. I'm in Edenton and 
we are trying to follow Bill Wickman's suggestions for connecting an 
auto tiller to a Garmin GPS--in this case the Raymarine ST1000 to a 
Garmin 541s.

Can it be done without the $100  Garmin starter kit sold by West Marine?

If possible could someone who has done this call Mark (252 339 0400) or 
me or Stan (252 312 9485) at the R22 plant?   (My cell doesn't work here.)

Soon?!

Thanks very much

P
