I picked up a used auto pilot and installed it per the instructions on my 26S. Went sailing today in light winds to try out the auto tiller and it didn't take long for the tiller to reach the end of the tiller rod in trying to correct the course. I put it on standby right away so not to blow a fuse. Tried it again and it didn't take long for the rod to fully extend again. Seems like the rod is to short. Do I need an extension on the rod for it to work correctly? Was the light winds the problem? or what else? Any ideas? Thanks for your help. This is the
