I am leaning towards a Simrad auto-pilot at the moment. I prefer hydraulic, but electric (linear drives) are cheaper. My rudder is not well balanced. I think hydraulic will work and last--two requirements. It would be nice to have an auto pilot when I head south. Getting down the Jersey coast to the Delaware Bay and up and through the C&D canal would be difficult to do by myself, even with an auto pilot, unless I heave-to offshore somewhere and time it well with the weather.
The best auto-pilot is a balanced boat sailing upwind.
