[C320-list] Raymarine EV100 Wheel Autopilot/B&G Vulcan

[RONALD HODEL]

All i can say is we have a below deck RAYMARINE autopilot and, yes, installation is easier on a wheel unit, cost is less BUT you will NOT BE SORRY - our is powerful, it’s silent (listen to the wheel steering units), it’s connected to the rudder post so you have redundant steering ability if your chain/cable fails (ours did on our previous boat - it’s quite a trip in a seaway) . . . 

Happy thanksgiving

Seems like an easier installation, much lower cost than below the deck options, and meets our relatively simplistic needs. I have the B&G Vulcan chart plotter. It does not appear that B&G has a similar “wheel pack” offering. Anyone with the Raymarine/B&G configuration? If so, would appreciate pros/cons we should assess before purchasing.
