I would suggest Simrad as a place to start looking at auto pilots for this type of boat. If you go with Raymarine electronics there might be some advantage to use the Raymarine, from an electronics standpoint. All of the pilots are fairly easy to hook up to the single station Sea Star steering hyraulics. Both Sinrad and Raymarine have virtual feedback units, which simplifies the installation.

TR1 Gladiator has had an excellent reputation, and the company has been bought up by Garmin.

Furuno also makes a very good pilot.

Be sure that you buy a pilot which will be supported in the future. Some companies have come and gone....making parts difficult to find (circut boards can go bad).
