Hi All,
Has anyone installed an autopilot system on the 28 TE?
Does anyone know the cubic inch capacity of the steering cylinder and how difficult would it be to run the wiring?
Any help, much appreciated
Regards,
Captain Paul

It's easy I mounted the pump behind the helm / bathroom cabinet. Small pump is all that is needed.

Re: Autopilots
CaptainPaul,
There’s plenty of room to run wire and I agree with Mike, SmartPump is the way to go. I purchased mine but I’m working on some other projects first before I install it. Not sure about the cubic inch capacity of the helm but SmartPump will handle all of them.
I was told by the Garmin guy you should get a rudder indicator as well. Do you have a rudder indicator on your Mike?

On the Albin I had a rudder indicator. On my Silverton I did not.
