[C320-list] More on Autopilots - Coursemaster

[Annie Bennett]

New boat has arrived and I get to see her tomorrow.  I DEFINITELY want a
below deck autopilot.  The dealer has suggested Coursemaster as an
alternative to Raymarine.  He said it was slightly cheaper and has a shorter
arm so should be easier to fit.  Also, has anyone actually fitted the ST6001
and does it fit ok on the C32?

I may not have added up all the numbers, but check with PYA.

Dick,

Unless I've got something mixed up, the best price for the complete B&G 
H1000 autopilot system (control head, drive, and rudder transducer) is about

$4000. Where do you find it for a price that is comparable to the ST6001?

The best price I could find on the ST4000 was $790 at Defender. Best price 
for the ST6001 is about $2250. It's just one man's opinion, but as much as I

really like the below deck units I'd rather put the extra money into new 
sails, or beer.
