auto

Question, Is there some reason why I can use a Raymarine wheel auto pilot with some adaption under the cockpit. Gearing from the rudder post instead of the wheel? It would be far less expensive.

I would like to install an electric bilge pump in my '87 E26, along with a float switch. Can anyone tell me how it was done at the factory? What kind of pump (self priming, remote or centrifigal), location, routing of hoses and location of overboard fitting? I am hoping to not have to cut...
