It is nice to hear about LF38 update of others. Congratulations. I am glad to hear of someone using a SPX-5 autopilot on a Landfall 38. I installed a SPX-5 on a C&C 29-1 and after 2.5 years it started having problems. I removed it, send to Raymarine for out of warrantee repair, then sold my C&C 29. Raymarine replaced components in the course computer and upgraded the firmware at no charge. Kudos to them for great service! At the time I was deciding between a B&G or Raymarine chart plotter for the Landfall 38. I happily purchased a Raymarine e7D, Raymarine fish finder depth transducer, and a Raymarine combination speed/temp/log transducer. I installed the SPX-5 wheel autopilot on the Landfall 38 and I feel it works just as well as it did on the 29 (maybe even better since the 29 was so tender). Installing a Raymarine Radar is a future plan.
