I INTEND TO PURCHASE A NEW AUTO PILOT FOR THE M17. I HAVE USED SEVERAL
RAYMARINE AUTOPILOTS ON PREVIOUS BOATS. THEY WERE THE 4000 AND 7000 SERIES
AND
THEY BOTH WORKED FINE. THEY ALWAYS HELD COURSE +/- 2 DEGREES.
FOR THE M17 I AM THINKING ABOUT THE RAYMARINE ST2000. IT MAY BE A BIT
OVERKILL BUT I HAVE ALWAYS PURCHASED ONE SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN THE
SPECIFICATIONS
CALL FOR.
I PURCHASED THE IDASAILOR RUDDER WITH THE NEW BOAT AND HAVE ONLY A SLIGHT
BIT OF HELM.
NORMALLY I WILL ONLY USE THE AUTOPILOT WHEN MOTORING OR TAKING SAILS DOWN OR
RAISING SAILS. MY SUZUKI 6hp HAS A 6 AMP CHARGER AND HOPE IT WILL BE ENOUGH
TO CHARGE THE BATTERY AND TAKE CARE OF THE AUTO PILOT.
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM ANY OF YOU IN REGARDS TO THE ABOVE.
BEST REGARDS
