I’m here — but haven’t done anything quite like this with a tiller, so I’m waiting to see if other owners of that model chime in. And yes, I think James is correct, the EV-100 tiller pilot is under-sized for this vessel.

In Richard’s case, it was a Raymarine system with an Octopus hydraulic linear drive. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( > On May 29, 2019, at 2:28 PM, Richard Bush via CnC-List > <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > > I would highly recommend you contact Fred STreet of this List; > f...@postaudio.net <mailto:f...@postaudio.net> > Fred was able spec and procure everything needed to install an under deck > Octopus autopilot for my 37; its tight, but it works....very nice to have > Fred as a resource as well... he has patiently helped me even when I ask > repeat questions! > > Richard > sv Bushmark4: 1985 C&C 37 CB; Ohio River, Mile 596 > Richard N.
