I have an autohelm windvane which is the type that has a big rudder with a

I'm thinking I could mount some sort of autopilot to the little rudder to
steer the boat as my regular AP is TU. Does this sound reasonable? Does
anyone know of such a device? Any ideas how to do it?

It should be feasible but remember that the small servo rudder turns
the opposite direction of the rudder so you will have to set up the
actuator to turn the servo left when the boat needs to go right.
