Autopilots
Brian, it would be nice to have a couple close-up pics of your autopilot setup. Not sure how soon I'll be able to start on an autopilot project, but it would be nice to see some installations on Ericsons somewhat similar to my E38. Perhaps I can get Rob to take a couple close up pics of his belowdecks installation as well. It may be quite difficult for Rob to take pictures of his though, as I have discovered there is very limited space, AND if he has reinstalled his water heater, then there will be even less space.
Brian, as an aside, did you make it down to Monterey? I looked around about a week ago, and didn't see Redsky anywhere. Did you catch any of those albacore that everyone is talking about?
rwthomas,
I sure do trust you - you own an E38. I was just tossing out an idea that has worked in other cases. I also toyed with adding a RAM below deck. The added cost to an install was enourmus, parts and largely yard charges/labor. My final solution moved above deck using hydraulics made for full sea exposure and easy access to all moving parts.
