You should be able to use most (or all) of the same wiring for the new drive;
but you might need to redo your mounting shelf (or whatever you’ve got)
depending on the geometry of the new drive’s mounting. Shouldn’t be a bad
swap, and I think you’ll be happy with the Octopus.

Agreed — rule of thumb is to size the autopilot so that its rating is at least
1-1/2 times the displacement of the vessel; Raymarine says to add 20%, but
that’s not conservative

I’d say it really comes down to how you plan to use the boat. The wheel pilot
is marginal at best but if you’re just going to sail for a few hours in
protected bays, in light to moderate wind its fine. It may also be a viable
option if on a tight budget and view the autopilot as a luxury rathe

The X-5 wheelpilot is barely adequate for a 35/3.

Frank,
I do not have an autopilot yet installed on my 38LF. I do have a Raymarine
SPX-5 wheel autopilot which I had installed on my 29-1(it is now currently at
Raymarine getting the computer repaired). A 38LF is right at the max
displacement limit for a SPX-5, and I was thinking about givin

The EV-200 Sail paired with an Octopus 1212LAM12 hydraulic linear drive would
be my choice. The Defender pricing is pretty stunning — lower than my dealer
pricing by a fair amount. They must have swung a sweet volume deal with
Raymarine.

Hi,
I thought I would pass this info along. I am not an expert, but it looks like
a good deal, and it includes
a free S100 Wireless Autopilot Remote and a free Raymarine SeaTalk Converter
