I've done a search and found a bit of information on the Comnav 1420 but I would like some input from those of you that have experience with this unit.
I have a 36' trawler that had a Benmar autopilot installed, however the electronics failed but the pump looks hardly used and works great. A local electronics supplier has offered me a stellar deal on a Comnav 1420 with two control heads.
I know Comnav has a good reputation, and the 1420 does the two things I need - steer a course or follow a route from my chart plotter. The problem is, it looks so simple I wonder if anyone has had experience with how it performs.
Thanks in advance for any advice or comments.
