Evening all
I have a Dehler 34 VDS with Whitlock (Lexmar) Cobra wheel steering and a ray marine wheel pilot with the recent EV 9 and ACU 100 system. This set up is fine for day sails although the clutch is starting to randomly dis engage. I have found u-tube videos on how to strip, clean and lubricate internals to reduce this problem.
Has anyone fitted an “internal” or more capable autopilot to this type of set up for longer passages single handed. I think it would have to be in the cockpit unless you know better. Or am I over thinking this and what I’ve got will be fine?
Grateful if anyone could share their thoughts and experiences.
