[Public-List] Tiller Pilot

[Harry Black via Public-List]

Thank you for that information Richard. When you say not self contained, what do you mean? Yours is clearly a far more substantial unit than the one I had. I was not aware of the ST400. It sounds like if would be very effective. I did have installed a new Garmin 740. (? I think) chartplotter last year on the bulkhead and it's a great unit that shows GPS, headings, depth, speed and waypoint headings so to that extent I guess the unit would be a little redundant but the displacement that it will handle is excellent.

Thanks again for the information. Much appreciated.

It's not self-contained but the tradeoff is the bulkhead mounted display that doubles as a repeater for lots of useful data - bearing, course, speed, waypoint data, depth, etc.  It's designed for up to 13,000# displacement so unless I really have the Quest poorly trimmed,  it's not working very hard. Also the actuator is probably a little more bulletproof. Like others have suggested, it is less useful close hauled or dead downwind.
