I'm going to attempt to install a B&G H1000 autopilot myself. I am look for advice as to where to mount the hydraulic ram. Pictures of an existing installation would be greatly appreciated.

I'll do this myself this winter, but here are some pics I took aboard "JJ Flash". Hope this helps:

This is excellent, exactly what I was looking for. I was thinking that the box structure that surrounds the hot water heater would be a good mounting point but I wasn't sure about its strength. Thanks

What is the measurement from the center of the rudder post to the center of the pin on the rudder arm? I used 10 inches and don't like how short the steering radius has become. I used 10" in order to accommodate the linear rudder reference unit.
