Windpilot Windvane Autopilot
Has anyone used a Pacific Light Windpilot on their boat?

The specs say they are for boat with a weight of 5500 lbs. but I saw a video of a Dana 24 which weighs over 7,000 lbs. with a Pacific Light Windpilot.

My boat is 6600 lbs. so I'm hoping it will work on my boat

Thom225 we had one on our Triton 24 with a hull weight of 4400 pounds. It was a great vane and had plenty of power for our little fin keeler.
Cheers
