Please, anyone, advise me on what brand, model etc. of self steering I could easily install on my C&C 27 .... am hoping to buy used. Any for sale? Thanks so much for your time and input.
I'm using an Autohelm 800 which has been discontinued for the 1000. it works well and only requires a minor amount of work on the boat.

I just purchased a "Raymarine ST-1000 Plus Tillerpilot" to replace my old "Autohelm" for which parts were no longer available. I was interested to read in the owner's manual for the new Tillerpilot, that there was an accessory--
( a Windvane----part Z-159) which mounts on the stern rail and connects to the Tillerpilot to allow auto-steering of the boat to the apparent wind direction. When I tried to order this part, I found out that the manual is out of date and that the Windvane is no longer made.
Does someone out there have an ST-1000 Tillerpilot Windvane that they'd like to sell ????

Clare,
Sorry I don't have your part but was wondering if you could give me some insight into the performance of your new autopilot. Our regatta this weekend was in 20 to 25 knot winds and choppy seas. The old 800 that I have given so much credit was just not up to the task.

Hi Mike,
I live in Ontario Canada, so unfortuneatly, we haven't yet put our boats into the water. The new Tiller-pilot won't get a workout till about May 8th but I will give you a report comparative to my old "Autohelm" after that.
Regards, Clare Jordan
