      How much does one of those go for? Please post some pictures when she is installed. Is the trim tab what would be controlled by the tillerpilot or is there a way for it to turn the larger rudder?

      Linus,

      The windvane costs about a million dollars, but I decided it’s worth it to me for the cruising I’m planning to do. I’ll take photos of the installation.

      The trim tab is mounted on the after edge of the Auto-Helm’s outboard rudder and is controlled by a pair or cables that are in turn controlled by either the airvane or the tiller pilot. The Auto-Helm does not connect to or affect the boat’s primary steering system at all.

      (OK, it’s not quite a million dollars. Pricing is at http://www.selfsteer.com/products/autohelm/priceList.php . They’re offering a $500 discount right now.)
