The Auto pilot requires more than the price for the unit itself. Power
generation and power storage have to be increased. So if the boat isnt
already set up with good power, you will need to get the check book out
again.

Besides, if youre sailing short handed its useful. But most of the time
there is someone on board to take the helm.


...and, you need a sharp watchman anyway.
