They have a new model with more modern control panel, but the gray drive wheel part is exactly the same. Should work fine.

I have the Ray Marine EV-100...I put the control unit near the hatch so I tack and jibe while sitting in the companion way.
Interesting idea putting the control unit by the hatch. I would think it should be closer to the wheel clutch, since you need to flip the clutch on/off every time you hit auto or standby.
An alternate, though more costly option is to put the control panel near the wheel and buy a wireless remote control. That's what I did on my C250, and I took the remote with me to my C34MkII. It is very nice to be able to steer and auto-tack from the companionway hatch, especially on the C34 where I can sit under the dodger in foul weather.
