Simrad

Jerry: My Simrad TP-10 works great. BoatUS had them on sale for $299 last fall. What a deal! My friend Alan uses an AutoHelm on his 26-S. He sailed the Lakes with it, then based the boat in Florida at his winter home. I think it's a 1000. We both love our tiller-pilots. Fair winds, Rick s/v DevOcean

Autohelm

My boat came with an Autohelm 800 and when I called Raytheon with a question they laughed because it was so ancient. Anyway it works perfect for what I use it for and you may be able to pick one up used for low $$$$. Only complaint is that in rough seas and big wind the boat gets pushed around too much for the tiller arm to extend far enough to keep a straight course. So I have to turn downwind or otherwise orient in the boat that it doesn't get knocked around so bad if I want to leave the cockpit to make some sail corrections or go below to grab a beer.
