OMG!
I need an Autopilot but I think my boat is too heavy for a wheel pilot.
However, at that cost it might work as way to let go of the helm for
short periods of time!
I was going to wait and do a below decks autopilot but this could buy me
some time maybe. Any thoughts? its a 40 footer with 17,250 lbs of
displacement. I would imagine that would be a bit higher with our stuff
on board.

Gee, Richard; I’m speechless… :^) Thanks!
Mark — Defender’s current public price on the EV-100 wheel pilot
system is /LESS/ than my dealer’s cost right now. I’m hoping that
means that Raymarine is coming out with a newer (more powerful?)
version, but don’t hold your breath. They’re pretty tight-lipped
about upcoming products.
If anyone on the list is looking for a wheel pilot, now’s the time to
get one — $1159.99 plus a $300.00 rebate.

Ican't for Fred, but I can speak for myself....I researched autopilot
units until I was blue in the face and initially decided to go with
Fed because he was on this list....however, once I received all the
parts and began assembly, I came to rely upon Fred's advice an
helpful suggestions to the point where I don't think I could have
done it without him...he took the time to listen to my questions
(posed in a not-so-clear fashion I'm sure)...and offered suggestions;
he was insightful about my particular boat because he has one (I have
a 37, Fred has a 38)...and he was able to discern when there was a
real problem from when I just wasn't understanding the written
directions....; so, if price is the only object, then shop on...but
if you want the unit to work, call Fred....

I'll checked Hodges Marine just now - they are a little more than
Defender.
As for Fred - he can jump in if I'm wrong but I've seen a few of his
messages where he said he couldn't beat the sales prices on similar
items.
