I think the slagging of Raymarine pilots is unwarranted.  I've got a
Raymarine Linear Drive (the big one) and X30 corepack on Bojangles and
it works perfectly.

We just did 410 miles from Grenada to BVI - with moderate quartering
seas - and the pilot drove the whole way with ZERO cross track error.

I've also had it drive the boat for days in 20 foot plus seas where a
human helmsman would have been exhausted after a couple of hours or
less.

Mine's a bigger unit than you'd need on a 37+, but I'm sure the right
sized unit would do the trick for you.

Cheers
Colin
