The right autopilot, correctly installed, will give you years of dependable
service and will quickly become a valued member of the crew. Start by selecting
the correct pilot for your needs. Consider the type of boating you plan to do, then
match your boat’s steering system, fully laden displacement and length with the
proper unit.
Remember, always use fully laden displacement which is often 20% above the designed
displacement, and don’t be tempted to choose a pilot which is always working at
the limits of its designed capabilities. If you choose your pilot with safety in
mind, then it won’t struggle when the going gets tough.
