When your tiller bracket starts showing signs of stress or the bolt holes get widened from vibration, swapping it out for a 127mm version usually does the trick. This specific measurement ensures the drive arm sits at the correct angle for your autopilot to pull properly without binding. A fresh bracket takes the slop out of the steering linkage, making those long motor-sails much less of a headache.
- Match the bolt pattern to your tiller.
- Tighten the mount firmly to prevent shifting.
- Ensure the pivot point remains lubricated.
