I’m going with a Garmin unit. I have two Garmin chartplotters on the boat and am also replacing the old Datamarine instruments with Garmin instruments. Almost everything is NEMA2000 and will be connected. I’ve always found the Garmin equipment to be reliable and easy to use and they have the best customer service that I’ve every experienced.

Do you plan to have it connect with other navigational units, like chartplotter, etc? Cost? thanks Richard 1985 37 On ice for now... Richard N.

I'm having it replaced this winter with an under deck unit.

I few years ago I installed an X-5 wheel autopilot on my 29-1. The old specs for the X-5 put a 38LF right near the upper limits. I am planning on moving the X-5 over to the 38LF before selling the 29-1. Does anyone have any experience with how the X-5 performs on a 38 Landfall under sail? I am sure it would perform fine under engine power, and I have learned with a tender vessel like a 29-1, that good sail balance is key to a happy autopilot performance, so I would think that giving the stiffer sailing characteristics of the 38LF that the X-5 may perform fairly ok. Input from 38LF autopilot users is greatly welcomed. yours very truly, - Paul E. 1979 C&C 29 Mk1 ( 1981 C&C 38LF ) S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
