Cockpit geometry plays a major role in how well your tiller pilot tracks. If the angle is off, the drive arm might struggle or put unnecessary stress on the rudder head. Adjusting the mounting point or using an extension rod can bring everything into the right alignment. It is worth checking the arc of the tiller to make sure the pilot is not bumping into the bench or the transom. Properly spaced components mean smoother steering corrections and less noise from the drive unit while you are busy managing the sails.
