How much to install Auto Pilot w/Hyd steering
- Thread starter Escape22
- Start date
I have a Garmin Reactor Autopilot with 7612 plotter plus a lot of other hardware (radar, sonar, etc) so difficult to isolate just the AP required items, but, I would say around $7500 installed (autopilot system and plotter)

For a Raymarine hydraulic kit, I'd guess the hardware is about $3200 then installation and interfacing is likely another $3000.
But……many of the newer AP's don't support NMEA 0183. To get the navigation feature where the AP will follow a route or hold the heading to a waypoint on your plotter, you may also be looking at an upgrade to a newer plotter MFD with NEMA 2000/SeaTalk capability. Otherwise, you AP with just hold a heading you select.
