Thanks Skipper
How long did the battery last? How did you charge it? I am thinking of crusing the channel island CA and might be without shore power for a week.

Butler Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 7:36 AM To: Montgomery Boats Subject: M_Boats: Re: Self-steering Capt. Sadler, I installed an electronic tiller control on my my first M15 "JOY", don't recall the specifics off hand, but it did very well except in hard gusts when it could not react fast or hard enough. One of the sailing magazines, perhaps two decades back, did a survey of installed autopilots, and Joy had the distinction, in their final report, of being the smallest sailboat with an electronic autopilot. May consider it again, don't know yet. Wait and see how long I live, I guess. .--.-. | ( ( )__ \ _ / (_, \ ) ,_) | -== (_) ==- -'--`--' /|\ / \ / | \ | ^^ / | \ / | \ ^^ /361| \ / | \ / | \ ^^ / | \ ___/____| \ ______|_ \ ___ _______/ ==== \___\___/ | “MONTGOMERY 15” / ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~^~~^=~^~~-=~^~^~=~^~=~~^~= ~^~=~~^=~^~~^~^=~^~-~^~~^~= ^~=~^~=~~^~~=~~=~^~=~~^~~^~^^ John Butler - Sailing again.
