Any Autopilot users? I have questions.

Been looking at these things the past few months and they seem to be ideal for big engine trolling...Anyone with experience or have recommendations about the autopilots, I sure would appreciate input..

I have owned 3. The last one was an AP55 with a built in transducer and the co-pilot feature. I think it is an unbeatable motor for trolling. Very reliable and low maintenance. I troll a lot at High Rock Lake and the AP feature can't be beat. I really don't care for the motor in a dock fishing or brush pile situation. It is rather slow on full rotation and the noise it makes while rotating drove me crazy. Isold the Lund boat that this unit was on and the new owner does not troll. He would probably be interested in selling it.

If I could have the AP on one side and a Hand control on the other I would have the best of both worlds. Don't let the slowness of rotation & noise sway you away from this motor. I know several people that love them and don't pay attention to things of that nature.

You won't regret it. Go with the 24V if you can. It's easier on the batteries. It sure saves wear and tear on my old legs. I use the PD/AP 65 with a Lowrance X-97. I ordered the X-87 but Cabela's sent me the X-97 for some reason. If I ever want tp locate specks 1500 ft down, I can do it. LOL
