Hello,
I am trying to determine which below decks autopilot to install in my full keel 42 foot CCA design sloop. i.e. narrow transom making install tricky.
First question. Mechanical or Hydraulic drive unit and why? Raymarine sells both. Simrad and Octupus are both hydraulic. Of the hydraulic ones I think I like Octopus the best.
For the computer and other electronic parts I am fairly certain I will go with Simrad.
Can anyone around here share some knowledge/experience?
