The connection between your autopilot motor and the tiller arm works hard every minute you are underway. Small hardware pieces like push rod pins and brackets tend to disappear into the water or wear down over seasons of use. Getting the right accessory keeps your steering setup solid and responsive. Essential items for your kit:
- Locking pins that won't vibrate loose
- High-density bushings to reduce mechanical noise
- Mounting ball joints with proper articulation
- Stainless steel clips for corrosion resistance
