Simrad WP 32 fit a Cat 30?

[Jack]

Replacing an old Navico autopilot on 1984 Cat 30. It has wheel steering by Edson (stock wheel etc). Will the Simrad WP 32 fit and not stick out past the diameter of the wheel? Anybody used the WP 32 on a Cat 30? Thanks.

Cat 27

It works fine on my stock/edson wheel on the Catalina 27 and doesn't go beyond the wheel. good luck,  Jack

WORKS GOOD

I HAVE A 1989 C30 AND JUST RECENTLY INSTALLED A SIMRAD WP32. THE INSTALATION WAS QUICK AND EASY. IT FITS JUST FINE. I WISH THERE WAS A LITTLE MORE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE WHEEL AND THE CONTROL. SOMEDAY I WILL PINCH A FINGER IN THE SPACE INBETWEEN. OTHERWISE, NO PROBLEMS. THE WP32 COSTS LESS THAN RAYMARINE'S S1. THE S1 REQUIRES A RUDDER POSITION SENSOR WHICH WILL NOT FIT ON MY MKII C30. I BELIEVE YOU ARE MAKING A GOOD CHOICE. WHILE SHOPPING FOR THE WP32 ONLINE I FOUND THE PRICES TO BE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. THE DIFFERENCE WAS SOME ARE OFFERED WITH A REMOTE WHILE OTHERS THE REMOTE WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $120. GOOD LUCK.
