I have the TP10 mounted by the book. If I were to remount it, I would install the drive mounts further forward (relative to the boat). This would give a slower response because the AP arm would need to travel further, but the load on the helm is just so great that it would give my little light duty TP10 more of a fighting chance. It's just not a super heavy duty AP like the inboard units. It doesn't love that big load. I think the AP load of the boat due to the unbalanced rudder is more like a 40 footer for the purposes of rudder loading

I've been contemplating a Raymarine tiller pilot. Does anyone have recommendations on this?

I just delivered the boat from the NA's and it steered well in 20+ knots on the nose with steep chop in buzzards bay. I feel like I have been in a boxing match but it kept on going. I went with the 2000 for more power due to the unbalanced rudder. The ability to steer is directly related to how well you balance the boat. I find you have to reef earlier with a tiller pilot. I think they are both good units - I went with Raymarine because I replaced one and the mounts were all in place. David #397 [This message has been edited by dbows (edited 09-23-2008).]

Tnx - Bill Depending on how old the ST1000 is you might have to re-wire it but the pin locations and fitting on the tiller are all the same. I had to change out the plug but that was easy. David #397

My original tillerpilot was a tp20 and it crapped out after 8 years of service, I ordered a tp22 and will install it when the weather gets a bit warmer, all hardware and wiring comes with it, so follow the instructions. I only use mine while motoring and putting up the main sail as it takes a lot of power to operate the tiller under sail. I installed my original tp about 6-8" forward of the aft edge of the starboard seat hatch and then line up the extension arm over to the tiller to place the engagement pin. If you are using it and hear a beeping sound, the battery power supply is getting low and it will turn off, even if motoring - so keep your batteries charged.
