Definitely time for an autopilot on my 40 &. I had hoped to do it this winter while the boat is still on the water. However, when I looked at the rudder post I could see no keyway to secure a post. Is anybody familiar with this, could I have missed this? Seems inconceivable that a large boat could have been built w/o such a provision? There does seem to be a horizontal ledge back inside the transom for mounting the actuator.......Edson clearly states that mounting to the radial wheel is a recipe for disaster. Having to drop the rudder & having a keyway milled into it also seems like a recipe to add a thousand more into what is already an expensive proposition as it is.
Insight appreciated.
