I'm looking for recommendations on a low cost tiller pilot, particularly the Raymarine ST1000 or the Simrad SP10. My goal is to be able to keep the boat headed in to the wind while raising / lowering sails and to be able to leave the tiller for a few minutes to duck into the cabin or to attend to some other minor task. I solo sail and the "tiller tamer" rope set up just doesn't get it.
I have no sailing instrumentation other than a Standard Horizon GX1200 vhf radio (w/ GPS and NEMA0183 data output)
Which device is easiest to set up and operate?
Will my GX1200 provide the necessary navigational data or do I need to invest in other instrumentation?
