Autohelm 2000 Installation Question
by John Gignilliat, #175, aft cockpit (chinook@beaufortco.com )

Has anyone installed an Autohelm 2000 on the tiller? I checked their directions of following the rudderstock up to the tiller and came to a position about three inches forward of the end of the rudder. This does not seem right, as the control unit would have to be almost off the stern. I have not contacted the manufacturer yet, but thought I would ask other NorSea owners. Thanks for any replies.
