    I have a tr1 gold autopilot on a 19 foot Lund. I use it on a t8 kicker. It works great for that size boat. On your size boat it can have a constant steering issue. The kicker motor does not have enough shaft keel to keep the boat going straight without constant back and forth steering. That's why most bigger boats have a autopilot connected to their main motor. They then connect the kicker to the main motor for steering. They make some connecting bars that you can leave connected even if the kicker is tilted up. The autopilot on the main motor will steer the kicker. That way you have two shafts steering to keep the big boat in line. Most people then put one of the dial throttle controls on the kicker for speed. I think you would need one of the newer fourstroke kickers to use the remote dial throttles.
