Thanks Phillip.
Also have noted by lo9king in images that some peopl6fit the autopilot to close the the shaft which will increase the force needed to move the rudder.
Is interesting that others are using the autopilot to move the bottom part of the windvane instead than the tiller.

Locating the pin position on the tiller is critical. Too close to the rudder axis and the unit has to work hard. Too far from it and you won't get enough hard-over rudder angle to get the required fast response in demanding conditions.
