Location: Bagley,MN 56621 | I have had 3 auto pilots with my last 3 boats...when I go to boat #4 (as soon as my Ranger sells), that too will have an Auto-Piolt.
I love that feature, don't know how I could get used to fishing with one foot raised in the air and working the pedal. I like to put it in AP, occassionally change the direction or speed and keep both feet firmly planted on the deck.
Heck,I even got the Genesis, the biggest so-called "Voo-Doo", "Dont buy it, it's too quirky", "You'll be sorry" Auto pilot motor out there.
The nay sayers in my boat think it's the most awesome thing they have run.
Go with AP, you will like it. You will also hear some negative press cuz someone had a bum one. Everyone will make a bum one sometime.
If at the very least you decide not to use the AP feature, you still then have a low profile pedal to deal with instead of the "higher" one.
my $.02 and opinion.
