Cat Tales has Simrad instruments and a WP30 autopilot from 2000. It has been a very dependable unit, steering us through every sea conditon (up to 12'-15' following seas and 35 knot winds) . The belt has an adjustable tensioner and needed to be replaced in 2006 (by certified tech), but other than that it has provided us with trouble-free steerage.

Ed, the WP30 manual on PDF was not allowed to be attached to this forum. Send me an email to svCatTales at gmail dot com and I'll send you the file.
