RAYMARINE ST6002 AP / KICKER

[S Mick]

Great site you guys have here, first time post and wouldn't you know it has to do with an AP question.

Anyway, I've spent a better part of the winter re-rigging and was contemplating a kicker install on my boat, however I love the AP and am not sure how well it will operate if connected to the I/O via EZ steer or something comparable. I currently run the ST6001 non gyro unit along with full hydraulic to the helm (24 ft Thompson HT) my question is in regard to whether or not this unit can, without issue effectively operate if an EZ steer to a kicker is utilized. Being that the unit is fully hydraulic, it in effect has no cable to move other than the steering arm to the I/O unit, I can't see why it wouldn't work?

The unit performs flawlesslty at low speeds (under 3.0) and holds a course perfectly, although some messing with the sensitivity is needed if trolling in rough water (4'+).

Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to getting out on the water this spring.
