Re: Stus-List Auto pilot mounting 37/40

Re: Stus-List Auto pilot mounting 37/40

The main reasons for having A separate attachment point for the autopilot is to provide system redundancy and the fact that the radial Drive is not adequately reinforced to withstand single point steering forces. On the radial, steering loads are applied to the perimeter of the wheel spread out

Hi Len, Many people will say you should not attach your autopilot to your quadrant, but instead install another independent arm onto the rudder shaft. Still, ours is attached to our quadrant (Radial Wheel) and we've had no problems with it there in 12 years. We aren't sailing around the world th

Try a zinc donut on the shaft forward of the prop hub and aft of the strut but touching neither. You will get a lot more time out of the bullet style autoprop zinc on the aft of the hub.
