I've been daydreaming about getting an autopilot for oXmas. Any opinions or experience with Raymarine's fairly new "Evolution" wheel autopilot?
At most I'll be coastal cruising, perhaps one day to the Florida Keys (starting from North Florida). The EV-100 Wheel system looks appropriate for Ox. http://www.raymarine.com/view/?id=6866 The new sensor core (EV-1) has obviated the need for a fluxgate compass but a rudder reference unit (not included) is still required. Any opinions or experience with rudder reference units and whether vendor interoperability could be an issue? I'm guessing they are just some sort potentiometer putting out a variable voltage.
