Autopilot/windvane interface

We have used a direct mounted tiller pilot to the control head of our
Monitor with great success(3 years, Med and Atlantic) and are working
on a remote mount now. I’ll mount the pilot in the cockpit and run a
control cable to the head of the vane.

Anybody have and more info or pictures of the setup for using a cable to connect a cockpit pilot to the monitor?

I would look at a Boden push-pull cable to actuated the control head of the vane.

I saw on a boat that they were using a teflex cable to run to their wind vane. I will see if the boat was left yet, they are headed to Greenland then the Azores leaving from Belfast Maine in the next day or so.
