Looking at getting an autopilot.
I currently have my kicker tied to my main F250 by a tie bar, and a second helm on the fishing deck with remote controls for the kicker, all hydraulic steering obviously. I've been looking for a basic autopilot to keep me going straight when fishing solo while I fight fish, netting, setting gear etc. The TR1 won't work for my application I think unless I decouple the kicker from the main, which I don't really want to do.
I've been looking at options and to be frank, am completely overwhelmed. Budget is not a big concern, but some of the higher end autopilots seem to have features that I will never use and are overly complicated to install and setup. I just want to go straight without constantly messing with the steering.
Any recommendations?
