Did I do something wrong??

Well over a month ago I submitted a technical article on my installation of a Raymarine Evolution Autopilot with linear drive on my MK1.   I have heard nothing - and don't see it posted - is there a process step I missed??  Do I need to rewrite it to make it more understandable ??

Thanks

Les

Maybe there was a computer/technical error with the server, when you posted? 

Anyway, I'm interested.  Looking to install one myself as well.

I hope you can include photos of your install.

The technical editor for MKI might not have checked the submission list in some time because I can see your posting is pending publication.  I know that I forget to check on submissions and they stay in pending until I take an action.  I'll send a not to the editor to speed things up.

Thank-you for the reminder.....

Thanks Nick / newguy!! - yes there are a few pictures - The area is buttoned up now - but will need to get back in to lube things up in a few months so can get additional if requested. 

I added a pic showing the tiller, rudder reference and linear drive --

Hi, I also installed some time ago a below deck autopilot B@G with  a linear drive from the same brand., The advantage from those of us with a MK I is that the ram can be installed under the swim platform so give a more clean and easy installation of the ram.

The B&G T1 hydraulic linear is compact, some 12 cm high so there is enough place to fix it under the swim platform. Next time on board I will take some pictures. Rest of the installation is quite similar with the Edson tiller arm, ruder sensor, etc...

I have extensively used the B@G ac42 autopilot with the T1 linear drive and I'm really delighted. The swim platform of the MK I seems to be solid enough to support the efforts of the ram.

Regards,

Hi Les,

My apologies for not getting to this sooner, I have added the article to the technical articles  section under "Upgrades". You should be able to view it now.

May I suggest that the article be re-saved as a pdf so that anyone with Adobe Reader can view it. This was in a .docx file format which requires not only Office, but the latest version of Office, so it might have a limited audience.

In any event, it's good to have a Mk I below-deck article in the library and I look forward to seeing it when I can access it. Thanks.
