I'm looking at adding an autopilot to my Freedom 33, and one thing is going to make it interesting: The quadrant underneath the cockpit grate in a shallow well.
I'm sure that somebody else has installed an autopilot on a Freedom 33. And for that matter, I think most of the cat ketches have a similar cockpit grate with the quadrant located in a similar space. I've seen it on an F44, and don't remember looking at other models.
What kind of drive unit have you used, and where did you mount it? I'm not sure that an electrical drive motor in a place that can easily be awash with salt water is a good idea. For that matter, I'm not even sure that the unit will fit into that space without some either creative work or dubious work on my part. If anybody has a successful install I'd love to see pix of it too!
Thanks,
Barry
