Tilted Or Angled Wheels; Oversize And Large Wheels; Mounting Problems Not Addressed - CPT AUTOPILOT CPT Installation Manual

Tilted or Angled Wheels

Angled or tilted wheels with worm gear or rack & pinion steering require use of the L-bracket. If the L-bracket is mounted
on a coaming or sidewall, the entire motor box may be tilted at the same angle as the wheel. Proceed as per instructions in
L-Bracket section. If L-bracket is sole or deck mounted, the L-bracket may be bent to match the tilt of the wheel or an
angled shim can be used.

Oversize and Large Wheels

If there is less than 7 ¾˝ between the bottom of wheel and the cockpit sole, an L-
bracket can be used to mount the motor box to the cockpit sidewall or sole. If
cockpit is too narrow to allow standard orientation, the motor box can be mounted
facing forward (reversed).
1. Turn motor box so the drive pulley faces aft. See directions for reversing the
direction of the drive pulley.
2. Mount motor box on the starboard side, or only slightly to the port side so that
most of the box is forward of wheel and does not obstruct cockpit. Follow
mounting instructions outlined in "B. L-Bracket Mount". The drive pulley can
be located inside the perimeter of the wheel if 1ʺ spacers are used between the
spokes and wheel pulley.
