| Raytheon Autopilot on an Ocean Passage?
My 2002 Beneteau 393 is fitted with a Raytheon ST6000+ linear-drive Auto Pilot (the type which is/was standard equipment on The Moorings/Beneteau charter boats). I'll be sailing the boat from Santa Cruz, CA to Kaneohe Bay, HI in Sept 2010; and, returning to SC the following Spring. I'm considering using the auto pilot as the primary self-steering device on these passages. Has anyone had experience using this type of auto pilot on an open ocean passage? I'm interested to know how it performed; what type of problems were encountered, etc. Any information and/or recommendations are appreciated. Fair Winds, Rick |
