Dear All,
My boat is a Hunter Legend 37.5 and i have installed a wheel pilot from Raymarine.
Its nearly the maximum displacement allowed for the wheel pilot and at wind speeds up to 20knots and swells, or going downwind , the autopilot struggles.
as i eventually intend to start cruising, i have a few questions.
1. Is other boat owners have this problem. i have asked Raymarine and they advised me to change as its too close to its max allowable displacement , and they have made adjustments
2. if i will like to modify the autopilot to one which can drive from the quadrant itself, has anyone done this before and does anyone have any pictures to share for these kinds of modifications.
i am from Malaysia and the sailing community here is not so active and there are less boats here.
Any assistance and advise is most welcome.
ALso another question to Legend owners - does the boat have a lot of weather helm - has anyone experienced this before and what steps did you all take.
I have a 140 genoa too installed on furler and its fully rolled out.
