What to buy? (Autopilot)

[walleye2go]

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.

my sportcraft has hydraulic steering so I cannot give any good info on that.

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

Thanks for all the advice. I have been looking at the different units and researching them.

I am going to be making a decision soon. I need to get into my boat and see what pump and motor I have so I can determine if I can use them.

I bought a Simrad last year for my 25' Sportscraft with. I/O and it doesn't work worth a damn. The I/O over steers and no matter what I do it is always doing slow S curves. Nice when one one is around but when you get in a pack it's not good. Wish I would've saved the money. I need a boat with a rudder.
