A steering extension bridges the physical gap between your autopilot drive and the tiller handle. If your mounting position places the pilot too far away, these rods prevent the drive arm from overextending during sharp turns. They fit securely into the existing ball joints to maintain a straight line of force. You should feel the pilot pull evenly without binding or rattling against the tiller head. It is a straightforward way to adjust the reach so your hardware sits flush, protecting the internal gears of the drive unit from unnecessary stress.
