WPFK1 Flat Mount Kit for Wheelpilots

WPFK1 Flat Mount Kit for Wheelpilots
(WP100,WP300CX,WP10,WP30)
The WPFK1 is an adaptor kit that allows the Navico WP100 & WP300CX and Simrad WP10 & WP30 Wheelpilots to be fitted to certain square pedestals or bulkhead installations.
In order for the pilot to fit, the following criteria must be met 1. For pedestals less than 300mm (12in) wide, the minimum distance
between the front of the pedestal to the back of the wheel spokes
(where the pilot will contact the wheel) must be at least 67mm (2.7in).
2. For pedestals over 300mm wide, or flat bulkhead installations, this
minimum distance must be at least 82mm. If the pedestal is over
260mm wide it will be necessary to drill a 60mm (2.4in) hole into the
pedestal or bulkhead to accomodate the motor housing.
3. Before drilling ensure there is sufficient clearance behind the wheel
and around the pedestal to allow the clutch handle its full range of
movement and to allow easy access to it at all times.
The WPFK1 will fit the following Whitlock pedestals Whitlock Premiere
Whitlock Monarch
These will require a 30mm hub extension to be fitted to the wheel
which can be carried out by Whitlock (Tel +44 1582 404400)
(Fax +44 1582 400331)
The WPFK1 will also fit the following Edson pedestal Minimum clearances required
Edson 450
This will require the wheel shaft to replaced with a 42mm longer
version available from Edson (Tel +1 508 995 9711)

Installation
To fit the WPFK1 it will be necessary to drill two 14mm (0.6in) holes in the pedestal for the mounting rods. These holes
should be 170mm (6.8in) apart horizontally, and 128mm (5.1in) perpendicularly below the centre of the hub (refer to the
drilling diagram overleaf). Depending on the width of the pedestal or bulkhead, it may also be necessary to drill a 60mm
(2.4in) hole to accomodate the motor housing, as shown in the drilling diagram.
1. Screw the two fixing rods by hand onto the screw fixings on the rear of the Wheelpilot ring. Do not fit the plastic trim
at this stage.
2. Remove the fixing nuts, the inner set of shoes and the large washers. Leave the outer set of shoes on the rods.
3. Insert the rods through the holes cut in the pedestal.
4. On the inside of the pedestal, refit the large washer, shoes and nuts onto the rods and hand tighten.
5. Adjust the distance from the pilot to the pedestal by rotating the adjuster on the outside and tightening the nut on the
inside. The shoe fittings allow the angle of the pilot to be adjusted if the wheel is not square to the pedestal.
6. Fit the wheel temporarily to check that the Wheelpilot fits correctly. When satisfied with fitting, remove wheel, slacken the nuts off slightly to allow the rods to be unscrewed from the pilot. The rods should remain attached to the pedestal.
7. Cut the plastic trim to size and slide over the exposed fixing rods. Reattach the Wheelpilot to the rods and tighten with
a spanner. There is a flat face on the end of each rod for this purpose.
8. Tighten the fixing nuts with a spanner and refit the wheel.
