Bob — I don’t yet have any experience with the EV100 wheelpilot, as they’re just starting to ship the EVO series. But if you decide you’re in the market, let me know and I can price a unit at cost for you. And I believe they’re still using the four-wire rudder reference sensors they’ve been using for years, so if you already have a Raymarine sensor installed, it should still work with the new course computers.
