I think this is the most powerful tiller pilot you can get  but it's only rated for 13,000 pound boat . For motor sailing and light sailing it should be good .

Thanks Gary.  We have decided to purchase the Pelagic system.  Every review and comment I read on Pelagic was positive.  My conversations with Brian at Pelagic were helpful, the system seems simple enough to install, and the price was right.  There is a bit of a lead time on the order but we expect to receive it in the next week or two.  I'll report back after we stall and use the system.

Thanks again for your reply.  Don  

We've been a little busy since I last checked out the forum, but I wanted to make a follow-up comment on the new Pelagic autopilot.  We received the new autopilot within the 4 week time frame as promised.  The installation was really straight forward and I had it completed in a couple of hours.

We originally thought the actuator would fit exactly where the old Raymarine actuator was but we needed to extend the whole unit about 4" for a perfect fit. I contacted Brian at Pelagic and he sent me a 4" extension over night - exactly what we needed!  Since we installed the unit, we've only sailed the boat 5 or 6 times but, under a variety of sea conditions and points of sail, the Pelagic system has worked as anticipated.  I'm still playing with the system a little and, based on Brian's suggestion, I plan to adjust the gain when I have a little more time.

Customer service is outstanding! Available by phone, text, and email.  Extraordinarily responsive and professional. Overall - we couldn't be happier with our Pelagic decision!

Hey Randy , are you thinking about the monitor set up with the Pelagic ?
