I have my auto pilot on a 19 foot boat and I fish Lake Uri also works great go into the wind doesn’t matter if it’s five footers with a 99 kicker and I usually troll for 1012 hrs. a day my buddy did that with his electric motor every day he hast to charge the batteries I charge nothing Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yes he’s trolling motor was big enough he had it on a 17 foot boat and I only troll Lake Ontario for salmon so regular auto pilot is the way it goes for me Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Regular auto pilot you don’t have to charge batteries every day u don’t have to carry a remote to correct boat into the wind you don’t have added weight and you can get one for not a lot more money I fished with a friend who uses his electric motor on a day with a little wind if he’s fighting a fish he’s constantly messing with his remote to correct boat next thing u know your going around in a circle not for me yes on a calm day they work good with wind not so good so spend the extra money get a regular auto pilot Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

If it was me get an autopilot it’s much better never have trouble going into the wind or running battery down trolling motors don’t work to well in wind Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

You know you talk about the clowns from out of state according to the constitution citizens of the us can travel freely from one state to another and out of staters spend a lot of money in your state just ask charter captains and bait shops and bars and restaurants if people would do what their ask to do like distance and mask things would get better sooner so maybe you should should grow up and think about all the people who had to die alone could be someone you know or are close to or you know one knows no one is safe so have some compassion help your neighbor Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have a Ray Marine auto pilot hydraulic hook to my big motor my kicker motor is hooked up my big motor with a rod it works great not real expensive you can get unit for 1500 bucks or less Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I had an electric auto pilot connected to my steering well made my steering wheel tighter to turn plus electric is kind of noisy I converted it to hydraulic a lot nicer Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Look back at the previous winners in a salmon division you’ll see that there are a lot of out of stators not locals Dave is doing the right thing he’s a good guy and it’s a good derby Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'm not a charter cpt. and I been fortunate to place in the derby a number of times I only fish with 1 other guy in my boat during the loc. we split all gas and whatever if we loose tackle we split if we get a derby fish we split I don't count boat as a person that would mean me as the boat owner would get 2cuts of prize money that wouldn't be fair to my partner who i have fished with for years boat shouldn't get a cut in my opinion your going to own your boat anyway derby or not Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

On my boat me and my partner split 50/50 but who ever gets fish has to pay taxes on money won first than split money after taxes are taken out which is about 28 percent of winnings Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
