Geohan hit the "Nail" on the head when he told you it is sail balance that makes the difference in wether any autopilot will work on your boat. No matter how good or strong or dependable etc a tiller pilot is, the boat it is on Must be balanced for the course sea and wind conditions. This means proper sail trim and the right sail for the conditions. Any boat that is properly set up for the wind, course and wave conditions should almost sail herself prior to the use of an auto-pilot. Your boat will sail easier with less electric consumption and less work this way. I do favor the larger pilot for the boat most boats..Good luck
