I can't help but wonder, if setting an autopilot is so you can leave the
helm for short periods of time, why is the control better at the helm?
you would think that being able to adjust from in front of the helm
would have some benefit... I know it is just my ignorance speaking but,
I'm just curious as to the benefits of one location over the other.
Especially if you have a compatible plotter at the helm and can make
some adjustments (I know it lacks some functionality through the
plotter), would it not be somewhat redundant? Not that redundancy is
necessarily a bad thing...

I strongly recommend you put the control head at the helm, not on the
side of the companionway. I had mounted mine at the companionway and
ended up moving it to a box on the helm; much more useful there and
you can display up to 6 boxes of data connected to the backbone.
