Auto pilot?

[Stuart Gordon]

I am thinking about buying an auto pilot for my C-28, #630. As far as I can tell, there are two manufactures - Raytheon and Navco. Which is the better unit? Raytheons ST 4000 is about $300 more - is it worth it? Any ideas or suggestions.Stuart GordonSea Change Catalina 28, #630Sgordon404 @aol.com

Autohelm

I have had an Autohelm/now Raytheon ST4000 since 1994. I use it on a C30. I've never had a problem- not even a belt replacement. Operationally, it is very smooth.

Simrad

Bought a Simrad WP30 this year. Installation was very easy. Works great and holds a course well. The ony problem is the Autotack feature does not work. Need to call Simrad.Sailnet was running a great deal on this unit. Only $770 See link below.
