Auto Pilot Reccomendations

[D-Cypher]

Good Day,
I am looking to install an auto pilot in my boat over the winter. It is and outboard engine (Honda) with rack and pinion cable steering. Does anyone have any reccomendations?

Thanks

Lowrance makes probably the most affordable one, but the kicker is you need a lowrance GPS/Fishfinder to control it. I already owned an HDS7 from Lowrance. Simrad (same parent company) makes one that is all inclusive, but I believe quite a bit more money. I believe there are guys on this board that can chime in on that. There are other options out there as well.
The Internet is a great source of information.
Once you have an Autopilot....you are spoiled...I would not be without one.

Too bad raymarine doesnt make the helm mounted for cable steering anymore. I love mine, simple. If you could find one used somewhere might be the way to go. But definatly get something!

Last winter I changed my cable steering to sea star hydraulic and do not regret it at all I then purchased a HDS 9 gen 3 and the Lowrance outboard pilot for my 19 triumph with a 135 Honda I love it wish I had done it years ago

There is some excellent deals right now on HDS Gen3 and you can find some Touch Gen2 and get a Lowrance cable steer ap

Simrad ap24 with octopuss cable drive helm. About 2k on eBay new. Installed mine myself with no problems, works great and quiet for cable drive auto pilot....
