You mean Raymarine brand tiller pilot? If I just look up 2000 autopilot ...the top hits are for airplanes... :-) Or some other brand? Raymarine has an ST1000 and ST2000 that I have heard are good. I think my friend with the Corsair 31 tri has one. It looks like the pictures of the Raymarine anyhow. https://www.raymarine.com/autopilot/evolution-autopilot/st1000-st2000-tiller... The ST1000 would appear to be more than enough for an M17 (up to 6,600 lbs displacement). cheers, John On 10/13/22 15:48, Charles Adams via montgomery_boats wrote:
It is a top rated AP with a reasonable price and why I bought it. Check it on Amazon. Westmarine also offers it. Check YouTube also. I haven’t used it enough to give a good report but will say it is very simple to use.

Autopilot is definitely a nice addition, maybe something I will add in the future. Has your Autopilot been reliable?
Thanks Charlie

Not the best picture but I think it will show you what you are looking for. It was there when I bought M17. It was a regatta boat sailed with a crew. I only single hand and found the tiller to long so cut 12” off it. I use a tiller extension with it. As far as I am concerned to single hand an extension is a must.
Some may wonder about the mount. It is for a 2000 AP. Another reason for a shorter tiller.
Hope picture helps.

Thank you Sean!
I saw old screw holes almost at my companionway on the cockpit floor thinking the track may have been mounted there but yours looks to be almost mid cockpit. (Maybe there has been more than one designed layout over the years?)
Thanks Again!

Hi Jason. Mine had the original setup in it when I go it. Here’s a couple of photos.

Hi All,
Would someone be able to send me a picture of their main sail traveller system? The previous owner of my boat removed it so that the lower block on my main sheet is attached at fixed point in middle of the cockpit. It works fine but it would be nice to bring it back to the original design of the boat which most of you likely have.
Thank you in advance for your help.
