I have just purchased a Hunter 380 and have had three electronics folks seem to come up short with the best way to an autopilot.
All agree that the EV200 would be the best choice. Where the disagreement comes is with the drive unit.. Linear or Sprocket.
Perhaps I can draw on the experience of others here. There does not seem to be enough room for a linear drive underneath the access plate behind the binnacle. I am leaning towards a sprocket and chain drive.
Does anybody know what sprocket works, how many teeth, the size of the chain or cable connection and the best place to purchase that? That is where everyone seems to fall short.
Any idea of how much labor is involved would also be helpful because I am really getting a range from these folks. Thanks for your advice
