A friend has the same boat as I, and has the ST4000. It has worked remarkable well for him. My sailing is coastal and if the weather turns I would be at the helm. I just can not find myself turning over my life and equipment to a computer. I mainly need it for raising and lowering the sails and when I need a break from the helm. I have talked to many sailers that tell me the life span of a under the deck autopilot is only around 5 yrs. So, I would whether just have a simple wheel pilot that I can replace every three years or so and come out better financially. Am I way off in my thinking?
