Rick, thank you for correcting my post. I forgot about the subsequent acquisition by Navico and knew nothing about the ensuing machinations.
My only point was that Northstar never offered an autopilot until both they and Navman were acquired by Brunswick and that the Northstar autopilot is, for better or worse, the Navman with a differently styled color control head. The point about a larger (and probably faster) hydraulic cylinder is a good one and I'm learning that in this case, like anchors, the next size up is important.
