  1. My 26' Penn Yan is hydraulic steering and it works great! Here are the details:

    Comes with following: 

    1 - Sportpilot X5-R Factory refurbished wheel drive unit with 1 brass steering wheel mount, 1 woodruff key, 1 tapered key, and 1 steering wheel nut.
    1 - SPX5 Course Computer
    1 - Flux Gate Compass
    1 - ST 6002 Control Head

    1 - Rudder Reference Sensor
    1 - Set of instruction and installation manuals. 

    You will need to provide your own mounting screws.

    This drive unit has been discontinued and is impossible to find alone or as a complete system!  Do not hesitate if you've been wanting an autopilot on that smaller, cable or hydraulic steered boat. This complete system is hard to find. $1800 plus freight or pickup in Rome, NY. I have to complete the uninstall so it may be a week or two before I ship.

  2. Out of Oswego 8/26/17

    We launched from Wright's just before dawn on the "Down Time" 19' center console. Ran to 250 fow and set up with a bunch of other boats. Screen was blank all the way to 375 fow. Made a turn SE  and headed toward the plant. Managed a 12# Coho  off a dipsey back 300'. Beautiful fish! In 250 fow we took a small king from the same dipsey. After a long dry spell we kept trolling into 135 fow and had a mature King on a Sutton 88 down 130'. Finally,  the 600 copper took off with a Stinger UV chicken wing as I  flippped the reel clutch forward to engage the drag...awesome fight. Landed a 23 pounder.  Last fish was a beautiful 14# Coho on a Wonder Bread magnum J plug down  near the bottom over 137 fow. Finished the day with 5 fish. Hardly marked any fish or bait all day but we sure felt a few. Great day to be on the lake.  Good luck to all for the rest of the season.

  3. Launched out of Stoney Creek yesterday at 6AM.  Turned left past the last channel marker. Trolled around Drowned Island. Nothing. Went north toward Stoney Point. Managed 5 Browns in the 7 -9 pound range, a 7 pound walleye, a whitefish and a Laker that was a solid 10 pounds. Turned around at Stoney Point Light. Overall a good day. Most fish came in 17-22 fow. Evil eyes did most of the damage. Good luck to all this weekend. Stoney Creek is super high now...wear waterproof boots to launch. No issues getting out to the lake from this boat launch.

  4. How about we get back to your point Dr W. So far I'm not seeing any volunteers for the Coast Guard Auxiliary. I'm interested in hearing more. Could you PM me...maybe I can help. I fish out of Mexico Point 2 or so days a week. I can't believe your request got so far off topic and not one volunteer!
