Auto pilot Installation - Pilot 30

[steve Dublin]

Any tips on installing an autopilot on my 2005 Mainship pilot 30? Location of fluxgate compass, hydraulic pump etc?
Thanks Steve

Steve, in my humble and flawed opinion, get it done professionally, looking over his shoulder, asking questions.

Thanks, I plan to due to age and arthritis. I'm just interested in where others placed the pump, ACU and fluxgate in the pilot 30.

My pilot's brain is under the helm console, which flips back on hinges to reveal all, but my hardtop Rum Runner's console is taller than the soft top's console.

On my MS30 Pilot, I was able to fit all the Raymarine EV200 Sensor, Control head and the pump under the helm. A bit tight but it worked fine.
