Autopilot on 440

Hi all,

I want to fit an autopilot to my 440 but I have a little problem.

I would have preferred a Navico WP30 or Simrad ST4000 (I think) wheelpilot but I think the displacement of the 440 exceeds the rating for either of these. The next one up is the ST6000+computer+drive unit but the price is nearly 500.00 UK pounds more than the other two.

Bearing in mind that the full load only comes on the wheel when sailing hard does anyone know if the wheelpilots will cope with just motoring/light sailing loads? I think they will, but would like advice from anyone else.

Cheers!!
