I love my 435

I have a 435 with a Ray Marine ST4000+ Autopilot. Bought it for under $800 at salinet.com. Very easy to see outside - mounted on the pedistal on my Hunter 320. Raymarines service has been outstanding - in fact I had my autopilot sent back to Raymarine a week ago because of some grinding noices and jusy got it back.
