[C320-list] Autopilot install

[Scott Westwood]

FWIW.  I mounted my sensor in the cavity on the center-line just aft of the shaft stuffing tube.  I just have to remember to NOT store anything metal right above it (Folding bikes etc...).  We sleep in the v-berth so that aft cabin is our garage.
I mounted the control unit in the aft locker compartment (Where the fridge compressor is) just above the little access panel to/from the aft berth. 
When I did all the electronics I replace the entire Navpod. 
We have a '98. 
Thanks,

I purchased a Raymarine wheeldrive EV 100 autopilot at the boat show and am considering locations for the three units.  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!
