Ok,
I am around 6 months from
purchase, but just picked up a used
Raymarine 1 type
linear drive. Need to pair if to a course computer.
I guess them2 most likely options are the
Garmin or new
Raymarine EV 200. I had major issues with a Raymarine s1 several years ago and although taken care if under warranty, returning to NH from the
Marquesas is a pain! Had a S2 on another
boat and that was great with a
Simrad drive.
overall, I expect my
boat to be pretty light on the
helm, but
steering with tillers so a below
deck pilot seems the best option for
offshore. if I has a
wheel I think a
wheel pilot might be adequate, but have all the
gear on hand now for belowdecks install.
any recent experience with newer systems appreciated.
