IT, I have a tiller with transom hung rudder. What are the current AP options? Still the old Tiller pilot type thing?

I recall one very wet coastal, after arriving at Russell exhausted and after the obligatory couple of rumbos we all collapsed on any available horizontal surface for sleep in our wet gear including PFD's. One guy found a comfy place on a wet headsail in the cabin. After an hour or two we were woken by the noise of his automatic inflatable PFD inflating.
It was bloody hilarious at the time but, like IT said, I can see there could be situations where it could be a hazard. Mine are manuals.

I have an Island cruise planned in my current 34 footer. Just working on Cat 1 stuff. Planning to slip the mooring May 2017

That's the problem BP. I need something to last for a 6 month sojourn around the Islands. Maybe I take a whole bunch of spare tiller pilots....or are they really that fragile?
