I know a windvane really is the right way to go, but I think I will just purchase a spare tiller unit for $400 in case my primary one fails, instead of dishing out nearly $4000 for a new windvane. Just can't afford that right now.
I had just heard that the electrical draw of an autotiller can be significantly higher than what the manufacturer states, and was concerned that I would be running my engine or generator non-stop and running out of fuel. My longest passage shouldn't be more than around 3 weeks, so the autotiller could be viable for me I think.
