Post by: andre on May 04, 2016, 03:13:37 PM
Hi everybody i don't llike my auto pilot with the belt direct on the steering. Is jthere somebody has a hydraulique auto pilot on his c34 and what kind is it and is it hard to install. I become from a long trip in the bahamas and when i travel by the sea i don't trust my auto pilot Raymarine with belt and i don't like the noise of the belt to. Thank you so much and excuse my english i'am learning.

Andre- I have a Smirad/B&G hydraulic autopilot and it works great.  However, it was an expensive set up and a difficult install. There is a lot written on the subject on this site. Just search "below deck autopilot". Some have used Raymarine linear drive units as well. After you study for awhile, email me if you need more info regarding my experience.
