    It would be possible to build a system starting with the SmartPilot
    mechanical rotary drive shown at <http://www.raymarine.com/raymarine/
    Default.asp?site=1&SECTion=2&Page=162&Parent=5>
    but I was hoping there would still be some integrated system like the
    discontinued SportPilot as shown at
    <http://www.raymarine.com/raymarine/Default.asp?
    site=1&Section=2&Page=156&Parent=5>

    The SportPilot looks like such a perfect small-boat solution that I'm
    having trouble understanding why they dumped the product unless there
    was a better competitor ?

    Thanks again, I appreciate your suggestion.

    -Sven
