I agree with Bruce's comment about the Octopus drive; mine (specked by Fred) 
it is effortless and sensitive to minute changes in the waves and wind....

Not sure I agree with that comment.  I have an Octopus hydraulic ram on my 
37/40+ and can feel the prop wash as it crosses the rudder and even waves 
through the wheel response.

No matter which brand autopilot you use (mine is B
&G Zeus2, I would recommend you use the Raymarine electric ram.  The hydraulic 
units have far too much drag and ruin the feel of the rudder.

I was told that you could not put an underdeck on my 34+ and so went with a 
wheel pilot.  I have since learned that it is possible, and not really that 
hard.  I wish I had known it sooner, as I really liked the hydraulic unit my 
older boat had.  I would contact Colin Mack at Mack Sails.  He did someone’s 
boat and has a customized installation they can do for you or can sell you what 
you need for self-installation.  Dave

Does anyone out there have experience putting a below deck autopilot on a 34
plus or 37/40.
