After reading all the comments and having a look at Simrad's DD15 drive
unit, I am wondering if I can replace the crummy AH 4000 wheel grabber with
the Simrad unit using the existing AH control head and compass. Seems like
it should work. Current draw is about the same.
I like the Simrad over the AH because the motor appears to be more
efficient (less power consumed) and the unit is more compact, all
electric, includes a rudder position indicator and would be easier to install.

Any one done any of this cross brand mixing and matching?
