Tiller brackets
If the tiller is higher or lower than the mounting socket, you can use a
Raymarine tiller bracket to vary the tiller pin offset so the drive is
horizontal.
Identifying the correct tiller bracket
1. Clamp the tiller on the boat's center line.
2. Measure dimension D (if the pushrod is above the tiller) or
dimension E (if the pushrod is below the tiller).
3. Select the appropriate bracket from the following table:
Dimension D
(pushrod below tiller)
25 mm (1 in)
51 mm (2 in
76 mm (3 in)
102 mm (4 in)
127 mm (5 in)
Mounting the tiller bracket
1. Position the tiller bracket on the center line of the tiller (above or
below) and establish the critical dimensions A and B
Note: To measure dimension B on a boat with a sloping rudderstock,
refer to the diagram on page 55.
