autopilots
 

does anyone here have an autopilot on a 23 cc
I have one with twin etecs hyd steering
I have an autopilot on my big boat and have worked with autopilots on my previous boats, 31bert, 37 topaz,

any recommendation for a small boat pilot
I tend to troll bass alot with the boat and generally anyone else on the boat
can not keep a true coarse while I am setting out lines and rigging
pilot would be nice and allow me to do it all as usual
any Help?

Re: autopilots
 

If it were me - I'd train a buddy to set the lines or run the boat instead of spending the money on an autopilot.

But I'm cheap - and broke.......

Re: autopilots
 

I know I'm not answering the question you asked, but...

I set a course, put a buddy at the helm, hand him a beer, point to a cloud formation on the horizon dead ahead and say "steer toward that". This approach works best if you pick the crew member with the longest attention span.

the old here take it, steer twords that buoy, work for me for about 1 min
until they start looking back at what I am doing then depending on what way they turn, also turns the boat that way.

Fellow-ship, I thought the point was to get AWAY from the helm! :D

She's not my wife. No problem for me to stand at the back and fight the fish while she drives. It's just difficult to land the fish while looking elsewhere.

I'm on a strict diet, but I still occasionally glance at the menu. Way to go, God.

Amen!! That particular "auto pilot" shows there is a God...at his best!! Is there Latin for that?
