I'm trying to decide between a garmin tr-1 gold or a Main motor autopilot. Also I'm looking for an installer near Pittsburgh pa. Any suggestions would be appreciated..thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onefish Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'm partial to putting the autopilot from Raymarine. It's called evolution- 100 that would work if you had hydraulic steering. Putting it on the main motor gives more Ritter when fishing slow. I can run mine to 1 mph. And i cannot drive that straight. If you need more info. Contact me [email protected]. Raymarine tech.

jigstick Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Im in Pittsburgh man. I installed my Raymarine autopilot myself. What type of steering is on your boat? Power assisted cable? Hydraulic? I can help get your squared away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
