A linear drive is the standard choice for sailboats that need a dedicated push directly on the quadrant. Unlike wheel pilots, these sit below deck and stay out of the way when you are moving around the cockpit. They handle heavier displacement vessels better than surface-mounted motors. You will find that these setups respond quickly to sudden gusts or wind shifts, keeping the sails full while you grab a coffee or handle the lines.
