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.

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.

I just ordered mine today. I'd love to hear a final update on how your install went.
