[Rhodes22-list] Tiller Pilot Recommendations

[Michael D. Weisner]

Ric,

I'm afraid to ask what you do that you could not do without it. ;-)

I love mine, too.  And to think that I used to use a "tiller jock" to lock the tiller in place when I single handed with my two year old. With the autopilot, we could have both been sailing from the bow with our feet in the water using the remote to steer!

However, at the point where the tiller pilot attaches to the cockpit combing, he said he found the fiberglass to be thick, and needed no reinforcement.  I found the fiberglass to be quite thin at the point, and epoxied in a block of 3/4” thick hardwood.
