[CA] [CA11] Upgrade to a new New autopilot

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Beneteau 400,

Autopilot drive units for sailing vessels are typically based upon the weight of the vessel, which in turn dictates the remaining autopilot components. Typically, a Type 2 Hydraulic Linear Drive would be required for a sailboat of this weight. This drive unit would need to be paired with a T70161 EV-400 Sail.

Much of the cost of an autopilot is invested within its drive unit. What model of autopilot drive unit is presently installed onboard and is it operational or also in need of replacement. Should you be uncertain, then please take a photo of its identification plate/decal and then attach the photo to this thread to permit us to identify it.
