Nope but you can by them used, I have one on a 31 Silverton and it does a reasonably good job keeping it in a straight line as long its not super windy. All other solutions were 1000’s of dollars. I think I picked mine up for 600

Check into the lowrance cable steer outboard pilot. I think I remember reading that guys installed them on IO boats and they work great. 

 

My hydraulic outboard pilot works great with twin outboards even though Lowrance says it won't.

I have the lowrance cablesteer in mine, it works it keeps me straight to set rods and that’s about it..

But you also have to buy a lowrance fish finder that works with it

Full mechanical on mine my boats a 1992 Penn Yan and had to order a new cable for it too so you might have to get a new cable to work with the lowrance helm

I am about to try a unusual Lowrance idea. I have a Lowrance Hds7 gen 2 touch. I bought the hydraulic autopilot last year but to install on an outboard. I never installed it and l am planning to sell the boat since I went bigger. The new boat is an I/O with a mercruiser alpha 1 gen 2 out drive. I plan to install a machine type hydraulic cylinder to the out drive steering arm. The cyl will be about $100. It will be controlled by the Lowrance pump /controller. It will need a bypass valve to be engaged when the autopilot is off otherwise the cylinder will lock up. I will let you know how it works in the spring.
