This bracket was made so that an Autohelm 1000 tiller drive module could be mounted on Marionette's cockpit seat on starboard side. Marionette's tiller comes up from the cockpit sole. The issues were that it had to be mounted far enough forward so it had leverage, the potential for a tighter adjustment range, and the drive shaft in operation had to be high enough to clear the trim on the seat. Also, I did not want to mount the unit on the combing, and I wanted the drive unit's base pin socket as flush as possible so that when the unit was not in use the pin socket was unobtrusive.
Its very simple and made of stainless steel.
When I get the boat back together this spring I'll have a picture of the tiller and autohelm in operation
This is a dimensioned sketch for the part
