Make sure you put the autopilot control head within reach from the helm. I made the big mistake of initially mounting it on the bulkhead, not good. I eventually relocated it on a pod on the pedestal, big improvement.___ This list is supported by the ge

On my 1976/77 C&C33 the ST 4000 control head is installed (2001) on the port T bulkhead (similar to the engine control panel on the opposite side). It is mounted as high and aft as quarter berth access will allow. There is a round inspection port next to and aft of the control head. I do occasiona

Ours is mounted on the inside of the cockpit on starboard, in the narrow part of the T.
