Auto pilot drive for Oceanis 350

[sailordownunder]

Hi,

I've just joined this group because I've bought a Oceanis 350, 27 years old but in remarkable good condition. It has no auto pilot. I still have a brand new Navico/Simrad G-pilot, but without a drive unit. I'm thinking of buying a Raymarine rotary (sprocket) drive unit and wonder if anyone has experience with installing a (any) rotary drive unit in an Oceanis 350. Or any better ideas?

Thanks in advance

Installed a Raymarine Type 1 Linear Drive on our Ben.351 a couple years back, to replace a wheel drive.  Have been very satisfied,  Mounting the drive is a little tricky, but doable. Good luck and welcome aboard.

Welcome :) I'm also new here and have just bought a 1990 350. I have ony taken her out once for a trial run since she is tied up in a probate process. Hope to have her released soon! 

It has an autopilot installed. If you like I can post a picture.

Cheers and happy sailing

Thank you Sailrjohn and Conchita Too. If possible a few pics would be great. Access to the quadrant and rudder stock is limited, so any install suggestions are very welcome.

Cheers
