I have had good experience with Raymarine Autopilots and since you have a Raymarine display unit it would be easy to link them together.

Knowing your rudder position is crucial for good efficient close quarter maneuvering. Even with my twin screws I always take note of my rudder position before going into gear.

I had a rudder position indicator on my Mainship (part of the autopilot) and I have one on my Albin.
I never use it and close quarter handle very well.
