Bruce,
Captain Bob Keller had an autopilot on his R22 Yankee Clipper. Searching  
the archives with this information may get you what you need including  
photo's.

I am  purchasing a Raymarine ST1000 for a new R22 that will replace my 
storm  damaged  model.  My last boat did not have one but I have been  persuaded 
of its  value.  I had a recollection from old posts that  installation 
requires a couple of extensions and other parts that do not come  with the 
package.  I found an old post of Roger's but do not know if  those instructions 
are still valid.  Has anyone installed the auto-tiller  recently who has 
addressed this?
