Auto Pilot

[lemon]

Who can help me? I need to fit an auto pilot to a 21 foot centre console ski boat with twin 100hp motors with hydraulics?

 

Thanks

I have a Raymarine aboard my commercial vessel and I am very happy with it... Bought it through Graeme at Seaport Supplies, Cape Town... 021 510 6262... They have given me excellent after sales service....

This is the third vessel that i have skippered with the Raymarine system

thanks! it seems raymarine is the unit to fit!

Are you planning to interphase it with your chart plotter or use it as a stand alone unit???

 

[lemon]

it has to be connected to the chart!

I run my auto pilot direct without it interphased with my chart plotter....

One of the cobra cats that i used to skipper had a Simrad auto pilot, it used to swing the boat 180 degrees if you switched on the deckwash...

Check out the Garmin autopilot! It has excellent reviews and better priced!

I think the Garmin is the way to go, especially with the shadow drive feature
