EV200 here - best thing ever!

EV 100 on my boat and no complaints. It keeps the boat straight and the ability to go to my waypoints is great.

Hook it up to a Raymarine MFD/chartplotter....I only touch the wheel twice every trip.  Docking and pulling away from the dock.  The best is doing a 180 turn in whatever width you want.

Just did a EV-100 install in Sept./Oct. on 25ft Pursuit w/ 250HP Yammie.   Got the commissioning done and a shakedown run before pulling the plug. Did the install myself, but had help on the hydraulic line bleeding. Can't wait to get back in the water. 

I fished with a buddy last summer who put one on an older 27ft Pursuit with twin inboards and it handled it fine. 

Good luck with your decision

Unreel,

I looked at the manual in the box, and it seemed like the directions were a bit weak.

Did you have any problem getting the installation completed with the documentation provided?

Hooking up the wiring did not seem to difficult, but the hydraulics section seemed to be quite vague.

You're being too nice when you said hydraulic info is vague. They su-k. Check your PM's.

I installed the older version with a hydraulic pump. It wasn't to bad to do. Do you have the hydraulic pump manual?

[JAYRFRED]

No. I do not have the hydraulic pump manual.

Did not know there was such a publication

Just installed the ev100 on my boat and for the price you can't go wrong! Kept me going straight trolling below 2mph hooked up to main and use an ez steer to kicker. Pretty sweet

I use an EV200 and Sportpilot on my IO.  It works pretty good. Tracks straight, zig zags, etc.  Love it.  I had the drive unit back to Raymarine once for new clutch pads, but turn around time was only 2 weeks.  I really wish I could find somewhere to have hydraulic steering installed on the boat.
