Do any of you trollers run any sort of autopilot system? I'm looking into possibly getting an autopilot for my boat...20' Alumacraft Trophy with Honda Outboards...150 & 20 HP....Hydraulic steering...What would be the best recommended system for me? Thanks!

I would use it for slow trolling Lake Erie walleyes as well.

I do what many do. Use 15hp for propulsion and minn Kota auto piot for steering. Love it

Lot's of the Great Lakes guys use the TR-1 autopilot system. Kinda pricey, but it was the best out there at the time.

Now with the new i-Pilots and H-Bird networking together, I suspect this will change for the 20' and under boats. If you are pulling spinner rigs, then the AP alone will work fine. If you are pulling cranks, and need more speed, then use the kicker for go, and the AP for direction, as Dennis mentioned.
