Does anyone know if the Raymarine SPX-5 Sailboat Wheel Pilot will work with the IP 27 "between the legs" Rack & Pinion steering system? I have a '88 IP 27 that needs alot of work...Planning a complete new instrument install and looking at a Raymarine Chartplotter, i70 multifunction display and autopilot. I want to keep all instruments in the same manufacturer, but haven't been able to get a definitive answer on if the Raymarine Wheel Pilot will work. Some local shops just say "yea, sure, It'll work...don't worry about it" but they can't answer my questions about the specifics of the install. At the Boat Show (Annapolis) last weekend, the Raymarine sales reps said "no way...won't work." I'm just not getting a good feel from anyone I talk to. As I look at the install manual, it looks like it should work...except for the distance between the wheel and the pedestal. Can anyone share some direct, first hand knowledge? Many Thanks!
