Autopilot installation photos...Who has some pics to share????

Post by stewnash »

Hello forum,
I am looking to see photos of those who have installed an autopilot to their radial quadrant per "Paul Dennis design". I am in the final process of installation but wanted to see what others have done. I own a 1987 36 Freedom. No sugar scoop but I don't think that should make a huge difference with installation. Thank you in advance.

Here are some pictures of the autopilot installation on my F36. It is a vintage autohelm. There is a plywood shelf glassed in that the ram is mounted on. The other end is mounted to the arm that is attached to the rudder shaft. Also of note is the rudder angle sensor. The computer and wiring is out of site and not visible from this vantage point.

Hope this helps.
