i don't see the need for wireless.
1. probably
2. there has to be power for the autopilot motor all that is needed is to wire in the controller somewhere between the battery and the motor.then you can control it in opencpn with the plugin or a browser on any device.
the controller can be close to the pi "openplotter/pypilot arduino/motor ctrl" and run the power from the battery to the controller and back to the ap motor.
you dont need the arduino & motor controller next to the motor..it sounds like that's what your thinking of doing with wireless.
3. does the arduino have the motor ino installed and connected to the pi usb or serial and configured in op's serial tab.?
once installed in op serial tab those entries will be there by default.
