OK, thanks Fred, my money stays in my pocket. So, its about balancing the rig as much as possible as Joel reinforces. Thinking about this now, I was sailing on a broad reach with the wind well aft and the spin partly blanketed by the main. Holding a tight course by hand was easy, and the boat

Dave — the pre-EVO Raymarine pilots definitely did much better with the rudder transducer; it was pretty much required. The EVO pilots do pretty well without it, so it’s not as much of an issue. As far as a below-deck pilot goes, they tend to be more powerful and robust, and will be steadier i

Joel’s absolutely right — downwind is the hardest point of sail for any autopilot to manage. And Edd, you need to keep in mind that, as I recall, the maximum displacement for that wheel pilot is about 16,500 lbs and your boat is about 16,000 lbs., making it right on the edge for being able to m
