Mine has moved from the coaming to a pod on the binicale. Much better
location. I also have my chartplotter there.

Placement of autopilot control head?
I like where mine is mounted in a pod on the binnacle guard...works good with
the auto tack feature when single handed

winter project 32a: upgrade electronics ('85 c&c33ii)
Am removing the vintage B&G hunter depth and speed instruments, replacing with
raymarine p70, i70. both are multifunction displays, and one - the p70, is the
control head for the autopilot. 2015 was my first sailing season with an
autopilot and I used it a lot - great investment.
I was unsure where I wanted to mount the control head so I did so temporarily
on the coaming in the beckson access hatch, adjacent to the helm, at knee
height more or less. My season with the unit showed me that I could use the at
like two locations - at the helm, (enclosure/pod on pedestal) OR beside the
companionway where it can be operated from under the dodger, when motoring.
Leaning toward the former, but still not clear in my mind....Thoughts,
suggestions, alternatives? Thanks.
Dave
