If you do a search you will find this subject has been debated more than once, very recently, which is probably why no-one else has replied. Paul

None of the above - it's size wot counts
Get the biggest one you can fit to the boat that you can afford.

Just noticed that you had a CC33. I fitted a AH5000 to mine, been very happy with it.

May not be relevant to you, but Navman's warranty is only valid for the country of purchase, therefore any problems you have to send it back to the home country for repair. So if your planning on cruising abroad I would get a Raymarine.

Thanks for the info but I think everyone is referring to plotters.

I mean one of them thingies you tack onto the steering that points you in the right direction!

What keywords are you using to search? There have been many threads on autopilots recently. Similarly there have been many on plotters
