Yes! this is the first thing i noticed in rough conditions and this is not a small thing. When you add in autopilot you are just watching the waves go by as you ride them out. The bulk of your time is then spent watching your gauges, chart plotter etc. Much more relaxing ride for sure.This (above, bolded by me) I should have pointed out as well. If the seas come up a bit to where you are climbing then surfing, then the gas motors suffer due to lack of torque.
