245 Contender autopilot w/kicker

Recommended Posts

I am looking to put an autopilot on my 245 Penn Yan Contender.  Is there a way to put one autopilot on for both the big motor and the kicker that will not kill the autopilot when the big motor is off?  It had an autopilot on it but it was shot from the previous owner using the autopilot while the big motor was off.  Will hydraulic steering fix this issue?

I'm assuming it's cable steering with power assist?

Yes.  I'm going hydraulic steering.  After talking to my mechanic and a couple other guys, its the way to go.
