CHSN WND,
I'm assuming my installation works well, the PO said so, but I have concerns. It sure doesn't look like there will be much turn to port capability. The TP10 has a tack function that is real nice for single handing. It just doesn't look like the amount of travel required will be there. I have not had a chance to use it yet. Since I got my boat last year I've been working on fixing some stuff before I launch it. I have seen pictures of other H26s with installations that look like they have the same amount of travel, even when installed on the port side. It would be real nice if someone with the same type of installation could tell us if the short travel works or not. I've been thinking I may need to move the mount to the bench, but I'd hate to have to do that, leaving holes where the mount was. But I will if it doesn't work to my satisfaction.
I had a TP10 on my Macgregor 26S. It had a lot of travel. I even had to add an extension - worked great.
Here's what it looked like. Tiller Pilots are real nice to have!

Notice that the mount on the MAC is flush with the top of the coaming, so if that type of mount is used on the bench it will not stick up when not in use, it could be sat on. WM has all the parts you need, Tiller Push Rod Extension, Tiller Pins, Tiller Pilot Pin Socket, etc. The Raymarine mounting parts should work.
