Questions from new 22 owner

[Stuart11157]

1)Has anyone used an Autopilot 800 or 1000 on a 22? Where to mount the unit? Know what it actually draws?2) I have swing keel model and want to get into shallow areas but concerned about rudder hitting. Worth looking into swing rudder? Or just remove it and use engine?3) Where to secure anchor, chain, rode? Plastic milk carton secured at bow?4) Need a plough type anchor for my area. Good experiences with the Delta. Thinking of the Delta 14 lb. with good length and weight of chain. Seem right?Thanks,Stuart
