Looking for an Autopilot

I have only heard good things about BOE too

I always tell people the S1000 will work well for you most of the time. It does shut off when you get below about 1.5MPH ground speed. So if you are trolling slow into a current it will likely shut off on you. As long as you pay attention to boat speed it will be fine. I have it on my boat with a 225 Yamaha and have been very happy with it. Going on its 5th season.

Sold! I just need it to go down to between 2 & 3 mph, but good point about watching the current. If nothing else, it will school me on watching the current and having more presence of mind on my speed with respect to the current. Thanks again everyone!

I just picked up my boat late last week with my newly installed S1000 auto pilot from Raymarine! The folks at BOE were very helpful, and I look forward to getting the boat out to calibrate the unit as soon as possible. Thanks everyone for your advice!

Tight Lines!
