Nike installs a Pelagic autopilot system on the sailboat Carl, currently moored in Bahia Caracas, Ecuador.6:12 The installation involves mounting a control unit and a tiller actuator, which share a single power source and control interface.6:35 To minimize deck penetrations, the project utilizes existing holes where possible, though additional drilling is required for the control box and a Garmin compass, which must remain at least six inches from the pilot unit.8:03 The process requires removing interior wall panels and insulation to route cabling from the control box through the aft cabin and beneath the cockpit bench to the motor box.11:43 While the control unit successfully powers on, the final installation of the wind vane actuator is delayed pending technical recommendations from Peter Fertmann of Windpilot Pacific to prevent potential damage to the wind vane assembly.13:19
