What units will control a Lowrance Outboard Autopilot?

[garrymny]

I have an HDS 7 gen 3. Everything works fine now but I thought if I see a cheap fish finder unit for sale I might get it for back up. Just to control the autopilot. My next FF will not be Lowrance since there is no repair. But I love this autopilot and want to be sure I can control it.

Sorry I didn't see this Tim. My Lowrance Outboard Autopilot is the hydraulic one. It controls my main motor (175 Evinrude outboard) steering. I connect a steering arm link from my main motor to my big motor, so when the big one turns, the small (9.8) kicker turns with it.

The new Elite FS can and there is also sales on the Simrad GO series that can do the job
