What year is you're boat? Are you sure you got a Seastar? Maybe a Morse? What motor?

If you can access this link: http://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-forum/819270-bleeding-hydraulic-steering-yourself.html

The trickiest part of it is the hydraulic bleeding; very important that you don't have any air in the system. Look at the link there is a description of the part nclude with the kit. The fittings can be tricky too because seastar change the type of fittings in 2014 I think. I saw a post the other day on how to bleed a hydraulic I will try to find it. Very important that you look at the 2 videos made by Jacob Scott from Navico. Following those you will know where to go.

I also use a S1000 in the past; forget it there is no comparaison at all!

I was trolling yesterday for lakers at 1.8mph using my 9.9 under a 20mph with my Lowrance and he was going straight as an arrow.

Just read what is in the box and there is no ethernet with the Lowrance AP; it's a NMEA 2000 network Be sure also the you got the latest update on you're HDS; it's not because you just purchase it that his got the latest software update http://www.lowrance.com/en-US/Products/Auto-Steering/Outboard-Pilot-Hydraulic-Pack-en-us.aspx For the update just check the video on the bottom of this page: http://www.lowrance.com/en-US/Software-Updates/HDS-Gen3-Software-Upgrade-v-50/

From my Gen3 many fishing pattern available same on the Simrad Go can't post pic

A excellent choice to reduce the cost is to use a Simrad in the Go series; it's in the same cost range of a Elite Ti but the Simrad can be interface with the Lowrance or Simrad Nac-1. The Go serie comes in 5-7 & 9". It's a touch screen, chirp, wifi,bluetooth etc.. and yes the Navico AP Nac1 can run on you're boat .

The Lowrance 83/200 use in CHIRP mode those frequencies: Mid range chirp: 85-145 khz with a 60 degree cone angle.High range chirp: 130-210 kHz with a 20 degree cone angle The Airmar TM-150 CHIRP between: 95-155khz.

It's quite easy to install if you are just a bit mechanically incline. It's easier because it's on NMEA2000; the touchy part is the bleeding of the system at the end of the installation and for this you need another pair of arms. There is some excellent videos on the installation and commisionning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTna8E8ZlSw Commisionning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGRFtxc-yYk

If you got a seastar or a baystar hydraulic it can be use on a inboard and naturally you need a Lowrance Gen-2, Gen-2 Touch, Gen-3 or a Carbon or a Simrad EVO-3 or a GO It's almost sold; just wait 1hr for a confirmation

Click on the link that I post

SOLD! Lowrance hydraulic autopilot Brand new never use. I'm selling this for a friend that sold the boat before getting any chance to install it. Price: $800 + sh. http://www.lowrance.com/en-US/Products/Auto-Steering/Outboard-Pilot-Hydraulic-Pack-en-us.aspx

The TM-260 is overkill for the lake Ontario and it's not a CHIRP transducer; better off with a TM-150 or a TM-185

Excellent choice; you won't regret it!

The 50/200 is a good choice but if you want something much better get a Airmar TM-150 a true CHIRP transducer. I use one and I fish mostly Lake Champlain for landlock and I'm more then happy.
