I purchased a Raymarine ST1000+ auto pilot at the boat show. SWMBO made final decision as it looked nicer than the Simrad - I had to agree.
Anyway it set us back £249. A good deal.
Went to boat at weekend and cogitated what accessories I would need to install it. These amounted to a "cantilever arm" (pilot to deck) and a "tiller bracket" (self explan).
I called the chandlery from the cockpit whilst sitting down - thank God.
The cantilever arm - a machined aluminium bar, threaded at on end - with a simple turned and threaded bracket - £39.95!!!!!!!! Much effing and blinding echoing round the boat yard.
The tiller bracket which in many ways was more complex £8.95 - much more acceptable.
I checked with Raymarine and the prices were correct.
Stap me vitals. Still can't wait to play with it though. And the autopilot.
