K1PNS maybe for you.... but for most of us 8 to 5 employed weekend skippers taking on a auto pilot install is NOT a piece of cake! By all means try it if you can't afford it ....but if you can...... leave it it to the experts. How much is YOUR Time worth?? Add up the # of hours it will take...

I went with Twin Honda 150's because of their quality,enconomy and proven reliabliblity. They are basicly the SAME engine as used in the Honda Accord Car. We all know how reliable and durable Honda Accords are. I like the idea of having TWO Honda Accords behind my boat. Dick E Orinda Ca

Racors are a pain in the !@#$ to change and they cost more $$$$.... and are small....I changed mine to a Stainless steel mount Yamaha with a LARGE 10 mic filter that costs 1/2 the $$ of a Racor and are EZ to change. Dick 255 Tomcat "Shirley Mae"
