The right Tiller pilot, correctly installed, will give you years of dependable service and will quickly become a valued member of the crew. Start by selecting the correct pilot for your needs.
Remember, always use fully laden displacement which is often 20% above the designed displacement, and don't be tempted to choose a pilot which is always working at the limits of its designed capabilities.
If you choose your pilot with safety in mind, then it won't struggle when the going gets tough.
