Jeff,
I would recommend that you also contact James Lambden with Propulsion Marine in Santa Barbara. His system is also a bolt it replacement for the Atomic 4 and is very capable in his converted Catalina 30.
I am in the middle of converting my Cheoy Lee Bemuda 30 ketch and chose James' product as a simple and robust solution.
Everyone has different opinions about what may work best in their own boat, I think that you should examine as many choices as possible before committing your money.
Fair winds,
Eric

I'm docked in San Rafael at Loch Lomond Marina which has a very narrow channel out to deeper water. Both sides of the channel are very shallow, 1' - 2' deep and the cross currents can be fierce, so being able to keep her down the center of the channel is uber important!
