Garmin TR1-Gold Autopilot
Great for the sport fisherman, Garmin’s TR-1 is the first autopilot to not only steer your vessel but control your motor throttle as well. Designed to work with your trolling motor, the TR-1 is compatible with most gasoline outboard engines. The TR-1 also has several steering patterns built in.

PYS took care of a lot of little things on my boat,
says John. Their service was very professional, and I’ve recommended them to my neighbor.

Q: 
I have a strange situation. I have a radio and a blower fan on my boat. When I turn on the fan, the radio turns off. The fan switch is right beside the radio, but the fan is further forward. Any ideas?
