stcroixx09 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 got my new sport pilot. working on installing it. everything seems pretty straight forward. however drive unit that fits steering shaft seems like i have to pull pretty hard to line straight up and down. i have wheel all the way starboard like instructed, think i can get it mounted alright. question i have is when will it unlock and give me free steering back? after i complete install of everything and connect power? boats in my shed will be taking to kewaunee friday night. trying to install before i go as well as finish 2 roofs lol. any advice or tips will be greatly appreciated.
rbradley Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I had a similar issue when mounting the drive, I just unbolted the bracket that holds it in place, lined up the drive, and turned it until I could bolt it back on. you'll love the sportpilot, mine has worked flawlessly so far.one thing I do is show the controller to all new people on the boat. it is very important to not turn the wheel by hand when the autopilot is engaged. it's a simple push of the standby button and the wheel is all yours.
Sly Selea Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I just ordered mine today. I'd love to hear a final update on how your install went.
