Simrad Auto tiller

Post by Wolf von Kalben »

After a delightful sail off Toronto Harbour, I left the tiller pilot engaged as I lowered the sails prior to returning to my slip. The pilot tried to maintain set course and extended the arm to the max.
Normally, a warning beep is sounded and I can disengage and manually retract the arm.

It's stuck in the fully extended position. No amount of fiddling, prodding, or swearing will bring in the extended arm. Any suggestions besides crying all the way to the retailer for repairs? (The frustrating part is it's only 2 seasons old)
Thanks
