Ok, I have decided to spent the money for an Auto Pilot for my C-25. The feedback I got from my original question about Auto pilots for this size boat was all positive.

I have used an Auto Helm ST 2000 for over 8 yrs, 6 days a week, all day long on the Maine coast. I constantly sleep aboard all summer, so night time lights are always used. I sail in fog, meaning running lights are used. The VHF is always on, (required).
