Title: Ray Marine X5 Auto Pilot Install Thank You
Post by: Tom Lindrup on June 29, 2010, 07:14:07 AM
I just want to say how much I appreciate the information on this site. I recently installed a new Ray Marine X5 Auto Pilot on my 1986 C34 (Hull #39) and used the tips from Tech Notes area on where to locate the compass, computer and control box. Installation went great and the calibration last weekend went like a charm. What a pleasure it is to have this up to date autop pilot as we leave shortly to cruise northern Lake Michigan.
Thanks for all of you who have contributed to this great site.

Can you provide pictures of the placement of all components?

Thanks,

Yes, when I am at the boat this weekend but I followed the instructions on the site
Compass: Cockpit Port Locker back in the aft corner bulkhead.
Computer: Hanging locker in aft cabin, back wall.
Controller: Starboard side of cockpit opposite the wheel, low on the bulkhead.

All works great.
