The boat came with an Autohelm (Raymarine) 4000. I groaned when I saw it as I used to fix lots of the earlier versions of this unit for other cruisers when we were cruising Mexico back in the 90's.
Fortunately, this one has the bronze gears instead of the cheapo plastic ones of yesteryear.
The unit will interface with the wind guages so it will steer by compass or relative wind.
I've had no problems at all, and it's rather easy on the batteries as well.
I should mention that the boat helm is very balanced.
