I agree with Bruce's comment about the Octopus drive; mine (specked by Fred)
it is effortless and sensitive to minute changes in the waves and wind....

Not sure I agree with that comment. I have an Octopus hydraulic ram on my
37/40+ and can feel the prop wash as it crosses the rudder and even waves
through the wheel response.

No matter which brand autopilot you use (mine is B
&G Zeus2, I would recommend you use the Raymarine electric ram. The hydraulic
units have far too much drag and ruin the feel of the rudder.

I was told that you could not put an underdeck on my 34+ and so went with a
wheel pilot. I have since learned that it is possible, and not really that
hard. I wish I had known it sooner, as I really liked the hydraulic unit my
older boat had. I would contact Colin Mack at Mack Sails. He did someone’s
boat and has a customized installation they can do for you or can sell you what
you need for self-installation. Dave

Does anyone out there have experience putting a below deck autopilot on a 34
plus or 37/40.
