What is the best way for changing that additional pintle? At this moment we will be replacing the bolt with proper silicone bronze pin and re-doing the bushing but what about the third what is your experience in rejuvenating that pintl?

We have a remote control and I never used it.

On LATVIS we have an ST-2000 setup on the lazarette, leaving the cockpit free. Because this setup create a very short leverage I think you need the power and the reaction speed of the st-2000. I do not know the difference between the 1000 and 2000 as far as energy consumption, I mainly use the autopilot when motoring or raising/lowering sails. When sailing I use it as a tiller lock. Disconnected from power and the arm of the pilot at the proper length, I can re-attach it at will to keep the tiller steady and move around for a short period. I also use that setup when I practice steering the boat only with the sail.
