Here are some images of it installed on starboard.
The white material that I used to shim the mount with is 1″ thick starboard. I used a hole saw to drill out a round plug and then used a belt sander to put the correct angle on it to get the cantaliver mount to come straight out and line up both forward/aft and up/down with the bracket on the tiller itself. It is a compound angle you have to adjust for. so you get the one angle on the face of the shim and then I rotated the shim to get the other angle right. Then used a pair of vise grips to hold the base for the cantiliver bracket to the shim and drilled the holes. of the three bolts that come with the cantilever bracket two will be two short so you need to get longer ones.. I would get all three replaced so that they all match for threads. The cantaliver bracket comes with at backing plate. You are going to have to wallow out the holes on it so that it will lay flat on the back of the seat back inside the cockpit locker at an angle. I used stainless locking nuts on the bolts rather than mess with washers.
