I have a benmar auto pilot system for sale except for the octopus motor-hyd pump unit. This system is consists of a comp u course 220 apu, power unit for a motor driven reversable hydrauic pump and a comp u corse binacle 220. the motor failed and I have since replaced the whole unit. Not many hours on the equipment as the sailboat is also equiped with an aires self steering wind vane. I will sell the equip only as a package for $500 or best offer. I suggest this auto pilot is suitable for a motor vessel or a sailboat under power. It worked well with my ingrid 38 sailboat under power but did not do well in course keeping under sail. Contact Gary svbramble@earthlink.net. I'm gone for long stretches so be patient. I'll get vback to you in a month or two. The suitable octopus hyd pump is readily availble thru benmar or octopus in vancouver BC.
