Autopilot progress

Some good progress has been made on the autopilot project. Most of the hard work has been done but there is a delay (with boats there is always a delay) due to lack of availability of the haulout railway. What has been done so far looks excellent but there are some unfinished issues for which the boat has to be out of the water.

New instruments appearing in the cockpit.

Nice beefy looking stainless steel mounts for the new autopilot.

Instead of waiting a couple of weeks to see if the railway becomes available, I am going to return to Nanaimo next week and move the boat back to our marina to complete the work myself as best I can. Maybe even save a few bucks in the process? We'll see.
