Autopilot help for a friend

[vetting]

I have a cable steer boat with power steering assist.  I have a raymarine EV200 with the a sport pilot that connects to the steering wheel.

 

A friend of mine is looking to add autopilot to their boat.

The boat is a 2006 cruisers express 300 I/O 

Im pretty sure its cable from the wheel to a hydraulic assist ram but not really sure. 

The ram in the back is part number 15293-c

 

Does that mean that you cant use the newer Raymarine hydraulic units?

. If you go to Raymarines web site they will have schematics for all there models and specifically where it gets Teed into,usually as close to the ram as possible. If that applies to your system. If you have any other questions there is a forum that may take a couple working days for a response from the moderator

That is correct, you can not use the Raymarine or any other hydraulic pilot for that matter unless you convert it over to a full hydraulic system.  He has a cable steer boat to the power assisted ram , not a hydraulic system but rather a power assist power steering set up
