    Joe,

    I installed a Navico hydraulic powered unit in my Albin 36. Navico was
    bought by Simrad and the unit is now called their AP12 and AP14 (the AP14
    appears to be the remote with display that I put on my bridge). I believe
    the volume of my Albin's steering cylinder was just under 15 cubic inches. I
    installed it myself, took a week-end, cost about $1300 including a remote
    control device for the bridge and has worked very well in the Chesapeake Bay
    for the last few years. Give me a yell if want more specifics. Good
    luck.....

    I am looking for recommendations for autopilot for Albin 36.
    Is it best to add into hydraulic system or use a different method.
    One unit I was thinking about is Simrad/Robertson AP22 or bigger?
    How many cubic inches are the albin's steering cylinders? Can someone
    recommend correct drive units based
    on experience?
