Subject: Auto pilot options
Info: (18357 views) Posted: Thursday 4-3-14 10:43:10 AM
HI JB,

Thanks for the response.

The X5 is still for sale at a few shops, but I think I am going for the newer EV-100 by Raymarine. After talking with a tech it seems to be a better options. I think I will also go with their i70 wind, speed, depth, temp pac so the pilot will work with apparent wind or true wind steering. I know with my past NKE this made all the difference. And the Raymarine is 20% of the NKE price for the same setup.

Will report back after a few overnights single handed.

:: Hi Paul, welcome! Raymarine X5 seems to be most popular

:: ST2000 Plus can handle the basic stuff, but the X5 has a
:: gyro which I appreciate going downwind off ocean waves.
