AUTO PILOTS

[HitorMissIV]

Looking for some input on Auto pilots. I'm planning on up grading the Raytheon unit on my 265 Pro Hunter. I was thinking on installing a Garmin unit. They seem like a nice unit with a lot of standard features. The boat is a straight inboard. Suggestions & info appreceiated. Capt. Randy

I love my Simrad Randy.

All the posts I've read on auto pilots I don't think I've EVER read a negative comment on the units themselves. Latley I've read some negative comments about their tech support. When I bought mine a couple years ago the tech support was great.

good luck with your decision.

Randy:

I had a Raymarine ST-6002 with S2G core pack in my Penn Yan 275 last year. I had Mike install it with parts I supplied. It cost about $2200 total. It holds great below 1 mph. You do need hydraulic steering for this to work though. Add that to the cost if you don't already have it.
