    Default John boat autopilot continued........


    I installed the V2 autopilot I had left from installing the Ipilot(2 years ago) in this box. Now., I will not have to deploy the TM to use the autopilot. The original plan was to steer the kicker motor with the autopilot. However, with a few more tricks, I can now steer my MK V2 with the autopilot also. The new circuitry allows me to control the TM or the kicker motor with a flip of a switch. I can now control either the TM or kicker motor with the copilot, the autopilot or the foot pedal.

    All the control boxes are now working in unison. All I have to do is run the signal wiring. I will be adding a relay to switch power on/off the pwm linear actuator driver circuit. Relays are easier than running big wires fore/aft.

    Hey guys, I learn not to estimate another's ability by my ability. Each of us have different gifts. Many can do what I can't but I can do things other's can't
