Do the raymarine i70 package and do it right. You will love the display if you can mount everything in a pod on the coach house over your companion way entrance easily in view of all in the cockpit. You and crew will learn to sail to apparent wind angle and with an added display you may be able to show VMG wind. I use that sometimes with my older st 60 raymarine gear. Controls for the wheel pilot work good in a pod on the binnacle guard with remote control elsewhere if you want to spend a few extra $’s you wont regret that in harsh conditions
