Placement of tiler pilot arm EV-100

[Baraka]

I am looking to add a tiller pilot to my 30 foot Choey Lee ketch rigged sailboat. I would like to use the EV-100 tiller pilot but I have a problem where the arm needs to be located per the specifications. The boat's tiller is mounted on the transom with a severe angle. The deck area at the stern of the vessel is quite limited and has a number of existing elements, several of which can not be moved. I have attached a marked up photo of the stern showing the specified location of the tiller pilot arm (in red), the Missen sheet attachment point (in blue), and dock line through a fairlead to cleat (green). While the cleat could be moved (or even rotated 90 degrees), there is limited clearance under the rail mounted propane tank, but more importantly if the arm is located per the specifications, it will likely interfere with the blocks for the missen sheet. The layout of missen sheet attachment points, cleats and propane tank is identical port and starboard.

The Question is, Can the arm be located back a couple of inches back? It would seem that if there was a rigid right angle piece off the end of the hydraulic arm that went to a pin on the tiller at the 18" dimension off the hinge point of the tiller, the pilot would maintained the required dimensions and provide the steering necessary. Please advise.

Please note that I have been unable to attach a pdf or jpeg of the situation.
