Kicker/TR1/Stern steering/Binnacle Controls

I have searched forums and haven't been able to find answer-

Is it possible to combine a stern steering station for the kicker (ie 11 inch steering wheel, hydraulic steering, side mount controls) and the TR1 autopilot? Right now we have the TR1 and it is great for trolling and when landing smaller springs. I would like to be able to put TR1 in standby when a big spring is on, and use the steering wheel and side mount controls for more responsive and immediate steering results. I imagine it can be done...but haven't been able to find any examples....

Thoughts?

Was thinking about this recently. If your kicker is connected to the main via bar you would have to disconnect the steering bar everytime you want to use the autopilot then reconnect when you get a big fish on, don't know if you want to spend the time doing that. Now if you have a separate steering cylinder on the kicker then things get interesting, im not sure the answer on that one.
