Brad, I installed the Raymarine EV200 with type I linear drive on my 34+. I couldn't be happier with the results. Very powerful in all points of sail. Zero feedback with the unit in standby. I sail solo 90% of the time and it would be very difficult without it. The wireless remote is pretty handy

Regardless of the controller you use, I would recommend the Raymarine Electric Drive Unit (Type 2?). The benefit of an electric drive unit is it doesn't have the drag on the wheel/tiller when in standby mode. The hydraulic units I've used make it hard to feel the boat when hand steering. Gary S/

I’ve been crawling around below deck on our C&C 33/2 contemplating the installation of a below deck autopilot as well. My rudder post is 2.373 or roughly 2-3/8 diameter, appears to be solid stainless. My keyway extends down below the quadrant by about 4 inches or so, right where the arm needs to

Tom, Thought I'd weigh in as a former Edsonite.. The most important thing to realize when installing the autopilot is that the clamping action of the arm and cap for the tiller arm is the primary form of attachment to the rudder post. Edson makes the arm with a .002" clamping tolerance to the

Hi Tom, I am told not all rudderposts have a keyway that reaches down the post far enough. I was lucky; mine did. It may be that you exposed the shaft further down than I did. I've heard from others that they didn't have a keyway and had to drill the post and install bolts. Your other choi

I am moving forward with the below deck linear drive install. We put in the structural support and then exposed the rudder post. However a few oddities. First, in spite of the build plans calling for an 80mm diameter rudder post it is, in fact, 75mm. And, although the Images that Josh posted
