    Lowrance auto pilot

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    Did you do the cable steered version or the hydraulic? Seems pretty odd to me you can upgrade your steering for 500 and buy a 900 dollar auto pilot or buy the 1700 dollar cable version?

    Thanks guys, billy that is some great info and the unfortunate part is that i have lowrance hds 7 on my fishmaster so i wouldnt be able to use the link. I will do the 72 in shaft though! fist time i ever said that :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

     

    If it was up to you and in my situation what would you do. Upgrade steering to hyrdaulic and put in normal autopilot and go with out minn kota for another year or two. Or get the ipilot and delay normal auto pilot for a couple more years.

    Yes chaos we know that ibo is 30 inch draw, 350 grain arrow and 70lbs draw weight and zero weight on your string. So You lose 15fps for draw length another 5 fps for your peep and loop, 7 fps for 2 lbs for weight and you lose another 15-20 fps for arrow 500gr weight. So absolutely

    You will never hit 320 at your specs and what you are shooting.

    You are also correct that most Mathews will hard to come close,with all other factors, to hit ibo speeds but if you want one of the best, smoothest, easy drawing fantastic bows on the planet it would still be the drenalin at 320ibo advertised speeds.

    Good luck with your sale! For everybody's info I love my drenalin! And this is a good deal😄

    Auto pilot questions

    in This Old Boat

    Many many questions

    I have a cable steered outboard. I have seen new lowrance for cable steered boats for 2k and I do use a kicker so contemplated the tr1 but 2500 is a lot. Any others for cable?

    My question should I just bite the bullet and get a hydraulic upgrade and go with the many options for hydraulic steered boats?

    The new lowrance hydraulic steered autopilot is 1k and looking at bay star steering is 550 so that would be cheaper than going with the 2k cable steered unit. Last question is that would I run into trouble with running auto pilot on main motor with hooked to kicker? Is it strong enough to push the kicker?

    Anyone around rochester that is a dealer and do the installs that you could recommend?
