I am looking for suggestions on an auto pilot for our 40-2. I don't think the
Raymarine wheel pilot will work good enough. Anybody got suggestions on either
s wheel mount or a quadrant mount. What do you use??? Also I would like to be
able to connect to my B&G Zues3 down the line. Thanks for a

Hi Len,
Many people will say you should not attach your autopilot to your quadrant,
but instead install another independent arm onto the rudder shaft.
Still, ours is attached to our quadrant (Radial Wheel) and we've had no
problems with it there in 12 years. We aren't sailing around the world

Does anyone have pictures of their Auto Pilot linear drive installation to the
quadrant? So mounted in the port side lazarette. I have below deck pics. TIA

Thanks everyone
Thanks Dennis…I’m afraid I’d be back similar to the Ev-100 Tiller pilot from
Raymarine where it would simply be undersized.
And….and I’m operating almost exclusively on the NMEA 2000 Backbone as I move
forward. Got me thinking….

Consider a Simrad TP32 if you have NMEA0183 interfacing. I think the Simrad
pilots are very good. The TP32 has essentially the same control circuit as
my Simrad WP30 Wheel Pilot. The TP32 is self-contained and does not
require any separate components.
I love my WP30! I’ve got 20 years use out of

I found this little drive unit by Simrad/B&G which looks to be manufactured by
Jeffa. It has an integrated rudder sensor. This would, I assume fit right
underneath the deck filler and hood to an arm. Typical rams look to be too

Hi James,
My R model was originally built with a wheel and later the PO converted to a
tiller. That's how she was when I got her and I installed the wheel the first
summer. I use a Raymarine wheel pilot and it works very well. I had to replace
the head after 12 years and the new model seems bett

I had a ST4000 on my 35 Mk II. I was never happy with it. Went with a
below deck unit, and never looked back. If you are not handy enough to
install it yourself, it can be an expensive undertaking.

Listers,
One of the upgrades on my list is to replace the ancient Autohelm ST 4000
with a unit from this century. It still works, kind of, but I would like a
unit that can keep up with rolling seas.
I will likely go with another wheel helm autopilot but would consider an under
deck unit. I thi

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.___
