[C320-list] Autopilot install

[Graeme Clark]

Following the advice of other 320 owners here I put the control unit and sensor in the small wardrobe in the main aft cabin

This makes for easy cable runs from across the main electrical panel and through to the helm station (I routed them alongside the engine loom cabling) 

Performance has been outstanding, albeit I bit the bullet and paid the extra for a linear drive!

Would love to hear where others have mounted the sensor, ACU and control unit. I’ve read that the sensor should be centerline and as low to the waterline as possible without magnetic interference. Also, I have space on my helmstation for the control unit between the knot meter and wind gauge. Would that be a suitable place? Thanks!
