good evening
I am looking for a rudder for a sailboat with a displacement of 8,000 kg.
I would like to inform me, if possible, of the various possibilities of automatic pilots on the market and their prices
Thank you for your attention
greetings

For this boat specification we recommend our Raymarine Autopilot Package Evolution EV-200 - Manufacturer Part No. T70158

good evening
When I asked you if they had an autopilot for a sailboat with a displacement of 8,000 kg, I forgot to inform you that the sailboat is made of iron cement and has tiller.
With this additional information, will the recommendation I received from your Raymarine EV-200 Autopilot Evaporator - Manufacturer's Serial No. T70158, remain?
best regards

Hello Francisco, thank you for your message. On a sailboat with tiller it is normally very complicated, because you have to install the linear drive from the EV-200 autopilot direct on your rudder shaft under deck. If this possible to install it, you can choose between the EV-200 with Type 1 linear drive or EV-400 with Type 2 or 3 linear drive it depence how much pressure you have on your tiller. On a 8,000 kg boat is normally the Type 1 linear drive is working fine. Please be aware the linear drive will increase your rudder pressure, because you have to move the tiller of this drive with each move of your rudder. Kind regards Raymarine
