Objective was to have everything portable. I did not want to worry about theft or damage from the salt air and some of the units - like the GPS - I use for other applications like camping or hiking.

Note cockpit mounts for wires. Lower wire mount came with the Raytheon ST1000 Autohelm. Upper mount for the Garmin 76 GPS wire is the plastic bottle neck of a Poweraide bottle glued in place with 3M 5200.

For the tiller extension I used an oak dowel 1 3/8. The dowel was approximately 10 and cut in half - but cut at a very steep angle. One piece was permantly mounted to the tiller extension piece I cut off, with the angled (or beveled) end sticking out. The other piece I permantly mounted (3M 5200) inside the lower half of the tiller. The extension can only be inserted in that one position. The fit is very tight and I must keep the wooden dowel waxed or it will not insert all the way.
