      I would check Blue Water Yachts in Seattle. Bwyachts.com under parts and accessories they have a whole section on replacing sails. Lots of info and prices on different options. I have always had great service with them

        I’ve been to the boat shows and nobody comes close to the price at wmjmarine. I spoke to Todd at BWY and he recommended the EV-200 Sport Pilot because of ease of install and not having to mess with the size of the steering wheel and wheel drive making it hard to grip wheel. I know some people purchased new larger diameter steering wheel. With the Sport Pilot you just take the steering wheel off and slide the drive unit onto the shaft and then replace the steering wheel. Now for the bad news. The price is $ 1869. I’m still waffling but leaning toward the More expensive Sport Pilot.

          I am also looking to add this mod. Windchime has one and he posted the info on the Macgregor Sailors Website. It is a Seadog Stainless Steel Hatch Adjuster 14″ knob lock listed on Go2marine.com. I will order this Spring after I get the auto pilot past the Admiral.

            I was at the Vancouver Boat show yesterday. Talked to 3 different suppliers, all had prices around $ 1600 plus taxes. They claimed that was their best “Boat Show” special. Looks like Cenote’s deal at wmjmarine is going to be the best deal by a couple hundred after taxes are calculated, inspite of the crappy Canadian dollar. Off to the Seattle Boat Show next week to see what prices are offered their.
