Looking at all the pros and cons with the idea of eventually buying one for my Hunter 25.5. Does anyone have experience with this unit. I will be doing a lot of solo sailing and could use some help with steering while trimming sails etc.
I installed an ST 1000 on my 23.5 about five years ago and since then continue to wonder how I ever got along without it.Looking at all the pros and cons with the idea of eventually buying one for my Hunter 25.5.

I use the ST1000 on my C-27 without difficulty. The unit is pretty hardy and seems to handle the load easily. Its really convenient when tacking. If you tap the 10* button 4 times it will automatically turn 40* while you work the sheets.I looked into the ST1000 also for my h240 hunter and found many complaints about striped gears happening in the control head. I was contemplating the st2000 but the cost was prohibitive.
