Re: Stus-List C&C 34 plus auto pilots
When I was installing autopilots, we used Octopus drives for all the various brands of autopilots with good results. We never liked the electric drives, I thought they were far more prone to breakage.

Re: Stus-List C&C 34 plus auto pilots
I’ve installed both Ray electric ram and a hydraulic. The hydraulic is slightly more resistance as Gary describes, but the advantage of significant less amp draw far outweighs this.

Re: Stus-List C&C 34 plus auto pilots
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.
