Re: EV-100 autopilot test run results

What settings are you guys using with the ev100 wheel pilot? Power boat, sail or fast sail? What degree on the turn?

Re: 3 axle trailer?

When i bought my used trailer the PO said it was for a 22 ft boat. If you look most boats don't hang off the trailer like a mac does. The trailer worked great. I had to redo the bunks. i think i ended up spending $1400 total.

Re: Installing a Ray Marine Tiller Pilot below decks

Does the tiller pilot have a hard time turning the wheel, motor and rudders at the same time. Do you leave it all hooked up?

I want to do this on my :macx: but i think i will need a new cable as it is very hard to turn the motor/rudders while connected to the wheel.

Based on the Westsail being on the right track clue
There is a southern something-or-another 32 that is just like the westsail. cant remember the name. Could be it.

After a quick google. Its a southern cross 32 that is like the westsail.

Our wish list was as follows: Blue water / extended cruising capabilities Sea Kindliness over speed Higher wind capabilities under sail wit...

The new trailer has two bunks under the centerboard and cant be removed. I do still have the factory trailer so i could swap it to old and then replace the line and the...
