Tom, Thought I'd weigh in as a former Edsonite.. The most important thing to realize when installing the autopilot is that the clamping action of the arm and cap for the tiller arm is the primary form of attachment to the rudder post. Edson makes the arm with a .002" clamping tolerance to the

Hi Tom, I am told not all rudderposts have a keyway that reaches down the post far enough. I was lucky; mine did. It may be that you exposed the shaft further down than I did. I've heard from others that they didn't have a keyway and had to drill the post and install bolts. Your other choi

Good lord! Drill through 3 inches of stainless steel! Nope! That one is going to the machine shop for me. I don't care if it is a cobalt bit and guided. The machine shop could put in a keyway while you have it out instead of a hole. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Sun,

Tom, I had the same issue on my 34+, no keyway. I called Edson and they said you must drill through the post. The Edson arm has a hole on one end which guides the drill to the opposite side. Then you finish by drilling through the bronze arm for the bolt. Be sure and use a cobalt drill bit to ge
