Ok guys as most of you have seen my post. I am at the point where I'm ready to purchase my auto pilot system. I have already converted my bout over to hydraulic steering, I guess what I'm having trouble with is should I go to a Raymarine ev-100 or a lowrance auto pilot. I will also need to purchase a new waypoint unit so I can really go either way . Could you also include witch waypoint unit you would buy. I'm only looking to spend 1000 on waypoint . What's your opinion. Thank you in advance. Kj Sent from my SM-N960U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Ok guys as most of you know I'm trying to set up my first lake boat. I have gotten a ton of help from everyone. Well my newest dalema is my OMC inboard steering problem. Ok I am converting my cable steer with hydraulic assist steering to hydraulic. My omc has power steering assist. When my engine is not running it is impossible to tern the helm. I thought to myself it's because of the power assist. So tonight I unhooked the cable steer and the power assist cylinder. My problem is I can not move the lever arm that the power assist cylinder was hooked up to. I even put a pair of vis grips on the arm to make it longer still could not budge it, in either direction. My question is shouldn't I be able to move this arm back and forth freely in return it should turn the rudder on the outside of the boat. I almost forgot my out drive is a omc also from what I was told. I just don't think it's right. Has anyone ever experienced this . What my Hope's are is to eliminate the power assist steering, install the hydraulic steer cylinder and my new auto pilot. I was also told by one of you guys on this sight that they have done this same thing before on a boat and it worked successfully with no problems. Maybe I'm just worried for no reason at all. If I had the hydraulic steering I would just hook it up. But I'm afraid to order it at 900 big ones until I'm sure it will work. Any input would help.

Both of these where on my boat when I purchased boat. They seem to be in grate shape. The sport pilot works. The fish hawk works also heads in great shape. Don't need them anymore I have upgraded . Make me an offer, I have seen the sport pilot bring 500 and the fish hawk head alone should bring 400. Sent from my SM-N960U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Well I guess I'm not sure. I'm not really familiar with the difference in the unit's . I now it is almost impossible to steer unless motor is running. There Is a cable that run from the helms back. I guess that is why I was calling it and thinking it was hydraulic steer. So I guess what you are telling me is this unit wouldn't work on my boat anyway. So a true hydraulic steer boat would have the hydraulics lines going all the way to the helms ?when I was reading cable steer I was thinking that was the old cable pulley system, so know I'm back to really not knowing what system will work for me. Right know my boat has the sportpilot autohelm with remote. I have a used one in a box to. I just didn't like that main motor had to run in order for it to work. Figured I would sell older unit and upgrade. That way I could add a kicker also. What would you guys do. I thank you guys in advance for all the info. I'm new to all this stuff and really don't have anyone else to get advice from. Sent from my SM-N960U using Lake Ontario United mobile app
