Steve: I installed a Navico on my M17. After considering all options, we went with a coaming mount and it works very well. I singlehand a bit and it is invaluable when raising sails. Contact me off list and I can send you some photos or answer any further questions.

I am curious about how others have mounted their auto pilots on M17's. I have an older Navico Tiller-pilot and at first glance the coaming is too far away, and the cockpit seat in too far below the tiller for any convenient mounting arrangement? How have others accomplished this?
Or do real men (M17 sailor-persons) not require stinking autopilots?
