      Hi Patrick.

      We understand you are interested in a windvane for your Pearson 424.

      We have registered over twenty Monitor windvane shipments to Pearson 424 sailors and supplied one Auto-Helm windvane to your friend, Mr. Tor Pinney. I have attached to this email, the installation drawings for both the Monitor and Auto-Helm for you to look over and consider. You can view photos of Pearson 424 Monitor and Auto-Helm installations on our website: http://www.selfsteer.com/boats/view.php?boatTypeID=1650

      Would you like to look at a Monitor DVD, and Auto-Helm and Monitor brochures? Please send me your address and I will be glad to mail them to you.

      Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

      Best Regards – Kopi Carmine

      Hi Patrick,

      I have the Monitor.  Tor is purchasing the Auto-helm.  Which one would you like pictures of, or both?

      I’ve seen a lot of Monitors. The AutoHelm looks interesting too so I wanted to see a few more pics

      Patrick,

      Here are a few photos of the Auto-Helm on Silver Heels. I specifically set it up so I can use it while carrying my dinghy on the davits. Towards that end, I made the airvane platform as you see it. Also shown is a mock-up of how I’m now setting up the Autohelm tiller pilot to steer via the Auto-Helm’s rudder. I’m fabricating a mount for it (in lieu of the green sponge) and will connect the tiller pilot’s drive arm to the rudder’s trim tab control yoke via steering cables that the factory is making up for me.

      Among the Auto-Helm’s many virtues is the fact that it provides a second steering system totally independent of the boat’s system. The two are not connected at all. No lines into the cockpit, etc.

      In thjose pics is the autohelm rudder fully deployed? Looks like you’re not using about 1/3 of the rudder.

      Does this stay deployed all the time or can it be retracted?

      Patrick,

      You can visit the Scanmar Marine booth at the Annapolis show and see an Auto-Helm set up there, alongside the Monitor. That’s where I first saw it last year.

      I could do that, but I live in Seattle. They usually come to the Seattle Boat Show as well, I’ll check it out there.

      Patrick,

      Yes, that’s the entire Auto-Helm rudder shown in that photo, and yes, it does stay deployed all the time. It’s not hard to remove it for storage or long stays in port (using a block & tackle off the mizzen boom to lift it), but it’s not something you’d do everyday. Of course, I applied antifouling paint below the waterline (and added a boot stripe to match the boat’s) before it was launched.

      Good morning Tor,

      I went to the marina yesterday to look at the whisker pole. Not in good condition. All the fittings are frozen..WD40 didn’t help. Sorry.
