As I install my EV-100 I also would couple the autopilot with my Lowrance HDS-8. The Lowrance MNEA connection comes from the power cable, i.e. color coded wires. Can I cut the end of a Lowrance/raymarine compatible cable and match the color codes to join in to the sea talk NMEA network? If the Lowr...

Hold on... It looks like the Humminbird Helix 5 G2 GPS model I already have communicates in NMEA 0183. The new G3 I want communicates in the same. Did I see somewhere that the EV-100 will work with that?

Looking at getting a Humminbird Helix G3 to work with the Raymarine EV'100 autopilot. Having trouble figuring out a cable. Any advice?

First few times out and it's working great! Thanks again for the advice....
I saw some mentions of a less expensive remote from Madman. Is this right and is he still making them?

Auto pilot install is complete. Maiden voyage this weekend. Thanks to Boat for the advice!
Any first time advice?
Do you guys use the auto pilot to track and gybe or disengage it?

Hey Boat,
On your install on an M, did you need to purchase any extra cables to reach everything?
Did you provide your own wire for the run from the tiller ram to the control box?
thanks

Hey you DC wizards, I'm adding an auto pilot (thanks for the help Boat) and with that a second battery, on off switch, dual bank battery charger and maybe an ACR. I've searched old posts and can't find exactly what I need so here goes (grateful for any help): !. I'm running the charger straight to t...

Boat, Thank you so much for the info and pics! Great detail, helped a ton! My auto pilot kit arrives on Friday. I've already made the wooden shelf and the tiller extension. I've cut the EMT and trimmed the knob a bit. The aluminum backer plate is also ready to go. This project requires me to add a s...

Hi Boat, you make great points... Here are the questions and thanks again for the help! 1. Also, how far from the well wall is the hole for the tiller mounting bolt hole in the wooden bracket? Is the cotter pin there for quick release? 2. The aluminum bracket that holds the rope system to raise the ...

Boat,
Would consider chatting with me about the project? Almost all of the pics on the thread don't show up, too old i guess.
My autopilot kit comes Wed.
Not sure if i can put my email on here, but...

Thanks...

Anyone have any detailed info about moving the tach below the steering wheel? Looks like i need to enlarge or create a new entry hole in the side of the binnacle. Is this a must?
And, any leads on the neato flip hinges Boat used to hold up the carpeted door hiding his great tiller arm work?
thanks!!
