Matt. I would look at the Simrap ap24. I had the simrad ap11 on board and just upgraded to the ap24 middle of last season. It may be a little more then the raymarine, but I love it. It is also nema 2000 already. No need to buy adapter cable. Give me a call if you want to chat about it more. Pretty east to install what ever brand you decide on.

Raymarine EVO 200. I installed it last winter and haven't had any issues at all. It is artificially intelligent and really unbelievable how it handles in rough conditions. I have it networked through NMEA 2000 with A Lowrance Link 8, HDS 10, HDS 7, and 3G Radar. You don't have to by an adapter, since both are NMEA 2000, you can just cut the Lowrance NMEA 2000 backbone cable and cut the Raymarine NMEA 2000 backbone cable and splice them color to color. All the electronics communicate with each other with no issues.

Here are links to our Raymarine and Simrad Autopilot pages at the WalleyeTackleStore . As members of this forum you can benefit from our low overhead and low prices on these and other products. For MAP items you may need to put the item in your shopping cart to see the actual price as we cannot display discounts for MAP items.

Good luck in your search for Autopilot equipment.

I also installed the simrad ap 24. Works good on my 27' Sports Craft with cable steering.
