I have an Autohelm 6000 wheel pilot (came with the boat) and definitely do not like the drag and catch that the disengaged belt causes on the helm. What investigation I have done tells me that there is no solution to this problem.

I am thinking about getting a below deck electric ram - Type 1 Linear Drive 12 V. I believe it will interface with my existing control head. Money is a consideration. Does any one have any experience with these? When it is disengaged, how much drag does it place on the (cable and quadrant) steering system?

Thanks, Philip
