Thanks guys - this echoes my inclination (helm) but leaves me with some holes
by the companionway where the depth instrument currently resides. I actually
have a small Hoffman enclosure to install the p70 at the helm, but hesitated.
My additional thinking had Been to use an iPad or tablet wirelessly at the
helm as chartplotter and control the pilot (hopefully) with an app or
chartplotter plugin that speaks nmea 2000. Was aware the raymarine plotters
spoke autopilot to some degree, but I kinda choke on buying a dedicated
chartplotter (plus new crash bar, pod....) when I could be using tablets,
upgrading cheaply, etc.
Is anybody successfully controlling their p70 remotely via a chartplotter or
app? In theory it should be quite possible.
Dave.

I've got my p70 on the right side of the companionway - otherwise I
would have an empty hole, or would have to buy another multifunction
display. I've got an a75 at the wheel pedestal (thanks Fred!) and that
can activate and tweak the pilot settings, so I can control it either
place. The setup works well.
