List at $3600 us that’s over $5000 can dollars. I don’t think I’m out of line, but it’s only worth as much as someone is willing to pay.

Re: Capehorn Self Steering Gear

It could possibly fit an Aloha 34. There needs to be room inside the boat behind the rudder post for a small quadrant. This one was made for a Contest 31. I am in Brantford in southern Ontario.

I have heard that, at least for someone who has purchased directly from him, not so sure how helpful he may be to someone buying a used one..

I've seen a video of the installation on an Aloha 32, very similar design and I know they have a specific design package for the Aloha 34, just not sure how much modification or additional material might be required for the package that you bought but I'm willing to contact CapeHorn to try and find out.
