    Default Autopilot Help

    I'm looking to buy an autopilot system for my 2009 Seaswirl Stryper 2101. 200HP Yamaha OB w/Hydraulic Steering. I want the right system & I want it installed properly. I have the Lowrance HDS 7 GPS & love it. I've looked at a few, but honestly, I'm pretty confused with the whole subject.

    I was looking at the Raymarine S1000. The price seems right, but the reports are that it doesn't perform at slow trolling speeds of less than 1.5.

    I dock at Beaver North and don't have a trailer with my rig, so hauling it somewhere to have autopilot installed is out.

    Seems like everyone I talk to either doesn't know, or doesn't want to mess with it. Dropping 2k-3k on the right autopilot system doesn't scare me, but I need some help.

    Anybody?

    we have a raymarine sport pilot plus that was just installed on our 2600 striper but its a I/O. Also had one of these on a four winns 30' I/O and they work great for trolling eyes, 1.5 to 2.2 slow speed or in 3-4 ft. seas nice to have, just noisy though. It was installed at anchor marine in erie PA. certified installer
    good luck with yours

    Thanks Prime Time. Just talked to a guy in Vermilion yesterday, and that's very unit he recommended. Says he has installed over 30 of them with no problems reported. Thanks for the help. I think I have a better idea now what to purchase.
