Don, In principle yes you could but you'd still have a pretty lousy analog-based autopilot at the end of the day and the current draw of the actuator would need to be similar to that of the 3000 (which is unlikely). I started to build my homebrew autopilot after my ancient autohelm (the one with the acorn shaped control head) failed to hold a course in fairly benign conditions during my first ever shorthanded race. It's really not worth it.
