Re: Current thinking on Autopilot for 26M?
I left the standard wheel there and really don't have a problem or at least enough that I don't think about it while using.
Unless you have a real issue I would leave the original wheel and try before buying a bigger one which further impedes movement in the cockpit.

why would you ever want to leave behind the grey cold waters of the Uk for the warm sunny bays of Florida??c130king wrote:After much agonizing over whether I should or shouldn't I pulled the trigger last night and ordered the S1 from SailNet for $750 (plus $20 for shipping). I blame Leon and others for bragging about how great their systems are working.
You see the problem is I live overseas...König lives in Florida...thus I spend too much time "on-line"and not enough time "on-boat".
If I don't get orders back to the U.S. for this Summer I may just explode...
or melt a credit card buying stuff on-line...
I am sure that questions on installation and use will start to fly once I get back and actually get my hands on it.
Cheers,
Jim

I've seen the X-5 a few places online for under $1100 but I don't know how trustworthy they are. I have a guy that can get me the X-5 for $1068 plus local tax. That may be the deal I take. We'll see when I feel like blowing a boat buck.Québec 1 wrote:I was looking at the new X type autopilot but they were 1400$ ..twice as much and I looked at lots of used one but they all went for around 500 $ which is not that much less than 749$

I ordered the special on the S1 from Sailnet. It should arrive this week. I can't wait to get it installed on my 2002

But not by much....
Besides, we both have a great product that I have personally used on Leon's boat several times and can attest to it's "MUST HAVE" rating!
LOL
