So, I have a Raymarine type 2 rotary autopilot drive which I plan to install in my Grand Banks 32. The way I understand it, this is a bit on the overkill side for the displacement of my boat but I like it that way. Now I need to decide on control unit to drive it. The properly matched Raymarine EV-400 is a bit pricey and I really don't need all the bells and whistles. I'm looking for a simple point and shoot autopilot just to hold a heading, not to follow course or talk to other devices that I don't have. Is there any reason to believe that the Raymarine will do a better job of keeping me pointed in the right direction than a Sitex or Comnav or any other more 'basic' unit??
This will be my first autopilot so I'm hoping those with more experience or knowledge can help me decide.
