3. A/P Tiller Arm
has been clamped to 1 1/2" rudder stock at a height that corresponds to
A/P ram. Rudder stock had no key way so I drilled a 12 mm x 12 mm
deep hole in rudder stock to accept 12 mm set screw shown.

against
coaming is filter cartridge, plastic ball valve and two hose adapters,
missing is second ball valve so you can seal in water, protecting the
element.

5.
Fresh water system Pressure Accumulator
& filter which I have opted to install before the pump (filter,
that
is). Accumulator definitely cuts down on recycling of pump.
