Larry, you should contact Fred Street of this List; he has access to the parts and equipment needed and knows what will work and what to stay away from....and he has a C&C...; I sail on a river and use my auto pilot very much like you described; I was/am very happy with his recommendations.

Everything is working except for the controller. When I switch to Auto I get the common low battery error and no data received. I have done a complete job of troubleshooting and it is the control unit/display. Raymarine no longer service this unit. I located one place in Florida that works on them, but I don’t want to go that uncertain route. I am going to remove and replace with another unit. I just sail the Puget Sound and never get into the blue water. I only use the Autopilot to single or short handle my boat. Mainly raising and lowering sails or taking a head break when I single handle it. I never use it in rough water. My boat weighs in around 14,500 lbs. I am contemplating the ev-100 spx-5. Anyone have any suggestions. I want to keep in simple. My wheel unit and compass work fine. _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
