I installed an Autohelm 4000. They say the mount should be 18" forward of the pintles. If I did it again, I'd be tempted to mount it further forward so the load on the motor would be less. The J30 with its unbalanced rudder loads up in a hurry. I might be tempted to call their tech support for their opinion.

I'm contemplating getting a RayMarine ST4000+ Is this the same as the Autohelm 4000? Should it be mounted higher up on the tiller? Is it strong enough, or should I shell out the $$$ for their Grand Prix version?
Thanks,

I installed a tp30 on my 1984, and put it at the recommended distance from the pintles. I needed a 1" push rod extension, and the big tiller bracket. It does get loaded up fast, so moving it a few inches further out might be a good idea.
