Anyone use the remote control for the autopilot .... I don't have AP on the tower and think this would be great ...

Thanks for any info

If you can obtain reliable communication through whatever top material you have, that certainly could save a lot of wiring headache. But up top I'd think you would want to securely fasten down that remote so it doesn't eventually go free-range. FWIW, I use a cabled remote (Simrad ) at the lower station and love it's versatility particularly for trolling , but am glad to have the wired permanent dash mount on the tower console so it stays put.

Its a hard top - but boat is pretty open... Think it should be ok.....

I make a few long straight runs each way and it would be nice not to have to steer

I have a ghc10 up top. I like the bright large display that you won't get with a remote. And it's fastened down. Only one cable needed leading to the n2k backbone. Watch eBay maybe able to get a deal.

I have one. It is great. I don't have a tower but if I need to pee or go up front or see if the engine is OK or need to get a a drink from the cooler... Get one. It comes with a belt clip and also a holder that you can snap it into. I have not programmed mine I just use it to lock a course or steer if necessary. The shadow drive still operates if you need to swing the wheel hard. Sorry about the feet.

Thanks Joe,,,, I am going to pick one up...... We run around 35 miles up to Flamingo from Snake Creek... and other than 3 creeks to navigate its basically a straight shot....

I like to be up top away from my crew on the run for some quite time - just me and a coffee on the way up --- and a cold Corona on the way back ...

This will help
