What you did is very Nice.
thanks cap
This is the best How-To video about autopilot installations.... great job!
I tried to make it look simple so people can do it themselves thank you😉
@@OutOnTheReef hello I have helmet with 4 hoses attached and one hole plugged marked E and the rest marked P T R L. . I KNOW FOR THE PUMP CONNECTION I NEED TO USE R AND L BUT WHICH ONE I NEED TO CONNECT BACK TO THE PUMP?
Hello Cap ??
@@antonnyfurman not sure how your system is set up cap ,if is not like mine i really don't know how yours is
Hey Cap. Nice job with all your installs!
I did notice the antenna cable for your VHF was coiled up behind the panel. That will reduce the performance of your radio. Also i would not use the factory antenna connector. Its best to cut the cable to length and solder a good connector. Also try not to zip tie the antenna cable to any power cables. Made a big difference on my boat after i did that.
Also corrosion X or corrosion block on all electrical connections is a must. Cheers! Bill
Thanks for the info! cap and yes i did cut that cable in future video thanks for looking out cap 👍👍
you are a real professional at this. This installation leaves no room for malfunction. Enjoy your Autopilot.
Thank you Manuel and thank you for watching my channel Captain you're awesome👍👍⚓
Wow, just what I was looking for in an autopilot video. Detailed and nice work! I've done Raymarine Nmea 2k installations so that part was easy to follow for me. The hydraulic part was the big mystery for me. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! John and yes the Hydraulic is the hard part for me too , thanks for watching cap.
I was screaming “nooooOOO!!!” when you did not use a hole saw bit to frame in the interface perfectly for $8 lol
Love your videos
Thanks cap. And you are right i just got lazy in did not go to the hardware store, thanks for being a awesome viewer of my channel cap
Why not just use an ax?
Loved the install. The step by step was GREAT I feel I could do that install after seeing this. Thanks for the video
Anytime captain and yes I looked at other videos and RUclips and they were horrible and I say to myself I need to do one that explains it better step by step that's why I got my inspiration from all the bad videos I saw LOL thanks for watching
every electrical device in your boat is great for comfort and maneuverability but is really important to use a power block with fuses for protection and safe, great project !!!
thanks Luis and yes i have installed in all my electronics a power fuse block in all my electronics
Fantastic installation.Clean wiring.Looking forward to the in water calibration.
Yes thank you soon i will upload the calibration.
Thanks for watching Cap.
just finished up install after a two day event... I took my time and followed your install... Thank You for the help... So far its working perfectly in the yard... Now for the real test... Water bound tomorrow... now just waiting on connector wire for the axiom to the auto pilot...
Great to hear! and hope the water test goes great cap.
Coño, Superman, me tenías esperando vídeos por una semana! Todo va a quedar perfecto!!
Gracias cap . Por creer en mi yo tambien tengo un sentimiento que va a quedar vien, estoy siquiendo el manual 😉👍🚣♂️
Great job. I have been looking into getting an autopilot also. You made the installation look a lot easier than I thought it would be. Thanks for the step by step instructions! Looking forward to Part 2.
thanks im glad you found it helpful on doing yours.
finally! you are going to love the use of the auto pilot!
Yes I think is going to really make me enjoy navigation a lot more specially when I go really far or I'm trolling for fish
Man, you always do impressive work! Looks great! Looking forward to seeing it in action.
Thank you Captain really appreciate your great comment and yes soon I will upload the video with the results.
Navigate safe
Nice to know EV100 is NOW good for Hydraulic Ram Capacity: 3.1-9cu. (aka 50cc-150cc). A couple years ago when I bought it. EV100 is only good for up to Ram capacity of 50 cc to 100 cc. My Baystar Hydraulic steering is 118 cc, so I had to return the EV100 kit to West Marine. What a bummer! but kudos to Raymarine for making it bigger.
Yes it's made for boats heavier than mine so it does work I used it and had no problems with it.
If you go to the website L tell you the capacity of the new pumps systems. Thank you for watching
How big and what was the weight of your boat
@@OutOnTheReef 17 feet bow rider much smaller and 2019 Yamaha 70 hp with baystar hydraulic steering. Tech improves every year.
This is awesome. Thank you so much. I have everything Raymarine. Hopefully this works good for my boat. Definitely feel better about doing the install on my own. ⭐️🙏
Anytime and yes you could do it especially better that you have everything rain will work more adequate adequate when you have a different type of of equipment that will work the same thanks for watching any questions please let me know
Great video Cap! You did a nice clean install. Can’t wait to see how that thing works on the water!
Thank you Michael for watching and next week I will upload the next video of how the universe works👍👍⚓
great, I used alot of this to install mine...thanks
Its good you have a lot of room to work under your helm, looks great.
You're right there's a lot of room very handy thank you for watching
Right on Captain that was very good can't wait to get out in the water and see what makes it tick
Thank you Captain and soon I will upload the video on the test
Capt like how u explain and take your time doing all your work on your boat clean and simple nice job
Thank you Daniel for taking your time and giving me the feedback I really appreciate it captain👍⚓
Great job Captain! Very neat install. Looking forward to your next video on the water.
👍⚓ thank you Captain and also thank you for watching I will upload the video soon
Great...step by step instructions!
Thank you Romeo I try to make it as easy as possible for my U-verse to enjoy it
Another great install, can’t wait to see it in the water and working. Good job Cap👨✈️
Thank you Captain and soon I will upload the next video when I test the autopilot👍👍⚓
Nice step-by-step step. You make it look easy.
Thank you Captain it just time consuming to install everything correctly but it's not that hard to do and you save a lot of money by doing it yourself
Amazing installation Captain...best installation instruction I ever seem...looking forward your calibration video...you are a great teacher too with clear instructions and down to earth explanations...excellent video
Thank you Captain I tried to do my best to show an easy install appreciate your great comment
Thank you for the detailed installation, great job!
Thank you Bill and thank you for watching captain
Will the unit follow a course from your Garmin?
@@TheBillmanl82 yes but you can only make one straight line you cannot make different put waypoints
Nice , Clean install! Great job! thanks for sharing!
😉👍
Nice job captain, very professionally done.
Thank you Captain it's time-consuming but you save a lot of money by doing it yourself😉⚓
Been waiting for this, nice clean installation! I have the same autopilot on my 37 Gulfstar. You will love it, you get to relax or make a sandwich while cruising. Lol
Yes that is awesome I did a lot of reviews and I found out this one was one of the best for a small size bolt.
Thanks for watching captain
Best video I’ve seen so far for the hydraulic portion of the install. Do you have a parts list anywhere handy? EDIT: I see it in the description. Thanks!
Thank you buddy I appreciate you watching I'm not sure but check the links in description below I may have put something there.
Cannot believe I watched the whole video, but I did. Great job!
Lol thank you for watching cap. I know it was long process 😉
Hello- thanks for posting the vid.
I'm installing the exact system and have only 1 question: How far is your EV1 from the ACU?
I've read that the electric output leads to the hydraulic pump will create quite a bit of magnetic field, [as any similar size motor would] but it looks like yours is at least 24" separation.
Hello, captain and yes, it's at least 24 inches. Thank you for watching and if you have any questions, please let me know.
Great video I have to do this to my boat one day have the same boat as you. Great videos man thank you
If you buy a boat like mine just make sure it's not crooked from Factory and if you want to find more information about that check out my video call why do I call my beautiful pilothouse a crooked pilothouse
Nice job can't wait to see a run on the water with it working 👍👍
Soon cap.👍
How do you like this autopilot cap?? Don't have the funds for this item yet but I'm so glad you posted up a video to help us get an idea of how to do it ourselves. Appreciate you cap! Saving us a lot of money, and making boating more fun
my pleasure Peter is awesome that here at RUclips we all learn from each other ,i love the autopilot sometimes it loses the heading but it goes away quick i don't know why that happens cap. but i like it is awesome and affordable.
thanks for watching cap.
Install a MOB+. Having a autopilot will inherently free you up moving about the vessel while underway. Last thing you want to do is watch your boat drive off if you happen to fall over. I’ve been fishing offshore since I was a child. It happens quicker than you think. I’ve installed on all my boats. Be safe. Looks good. Maybe we’ll see you up around Destin Fl one day 👍🏻
Thank you Captain for the recommendation of the mob
I'm already looking into it to have it installed in the near future it is a very needed item especially when you're by yourself moving around the cabin and deck of the boat thank you for looking out for me and yes maybe one day we'll see you at Destin Florida.
Navigate safe captain
I have one and worth the $200 for piece of mind.
@@brenteason9891 I agree thank you for the recommendation captain
Out On The Reef : I put mine right below the Lowrance unit and use the FOB in the wrist band - like a watch. You can see the head unit has a small footprint here below the Lowrance unit. ruclips.net/video/5_IN4WLkBtk/видео.html
thank you for the link Brent
Awesome video Cap. Really neat installation.
Thanks Jim and soon I will upload the video with the results
A total professional looking job😎😎😎
Thanks Urban⚓⚓👍
I’ve watched all of your videos and I’ve concluded, you’re the best DIY boat rigger I’ve ever seen. I wish I knew you to help me with my rigging projects. I’m really curious as to what your do for a living.
Thank you Cap.
Im sure you can do it too
Thank you for being a loyal viewer of my channel and for the coming of the best DIY I really appreciate it captain
I am absolutely enjoying your videos!!!
good job keep it up 😊👍
Thank you so much Gaffar
Comments like yours keeps me motivating me on filming👍😉
So I think I’ve seen a video where you replaced the raymarine with a garmin what was the reason I had an older Raymarine sport pilot had nothing but trouble with it finally gave up on it
Same here cap. Raymarine units are terrible and costumer service too, but i had my Garmin for 3 years already and love it cap. I had the pump leak a little and Garmin replaced it with no problems, great customer service 👍👍⚓️
Nicely done , Capt!
Thank you for watching
Great How To. Best video yet of the pump install. You didn't have to bleed at the ram?
thank you and no need for bleeding the system
A small but important tip for anyone who may have to work on anything in the future; ALWAYS cut the ends off of zip/cable ties with a pair of flush cutters not regular wire cutters.. Regular cutters turn the end of the cable tie into a extremely sharp point that will rip your or possibly my arms up when you need to get back into the area and do work. The flush cutters make a nice flush cut with no sharp edges. Plenty of cheap options for flush cutters on Amazon as well as better brands for a bit more money...👍👍😉
Thank you for your suggestion captain
99 cents nail curte works well
Clean install Cap. Well done sir!
thank you Dan and soon for the test, coming up in next video Cap.
Wow, that's quite a lot to hook up. I imagine if you paid someone to do that it would be over a thousand for the labor alone?
Yes I think more between 1000 to $2,000 but now you can see is not hard everybody can do their own if they want to.
Thanks cap
Thanks for this video, great job. I bought a 22 foot Lund and would love to put one of these on it. Do you know if a 60 inch shaft would work? Or would l need a 72? The 60 inch shaft calls for two batteries were the 72 calls for three. Thoughts? Thanks for your time.
the 3 batteries has more power cap is 112 thrust
Absolutely 100% install... Just one question... Never saw what you connected to the first white sea talk connector in the video... ? Thank You in advance...
Thank you the other 2 white connector was for the screan display and the other for the sensor.
Sorry that i did no clarify that cap.
Thanks for watching ⚓⚓⛵👍
@@OutOnTheReef I found out what wire was needed for the connection from the Raymarine Axiom to my autopilot
@@lphjr40 that is awesome I knew you could do it if you need anything from me let me know and I'll try to help my best
Very good, I am in the market for an autopilot and wanted to see what I was getting into, now I have an idea. I noticed in another video you changed the pump to a garmin brand, was there a specific reason and I assume you had no compatibility issues with Raymarine and Garmin on the pump exchange?
i change to Garmin to make all my system compatible and the raymarine was giving me problems cap
@@OutOnTheReef ahhh I see, makes sense. I thought that may be a problem. Perfect, stay safe.
Excellent video Cap will be waiting for the next installment.
Thank you Anthony for watching the next video is coming up next week when I test the system
Good job! u kno ur stuff man! ...I got my differences with technology lol
Thanks buddy for watching 👍
Did you have poly tubes from motor cylinder to helm? I do. I also have BayStar cylinder and BayStar helm. I called Sea Solutions/Teleflex to get correct tube kit. They said I need their special hoses. I have not had one problem in the past and I am adding a EV-100. Any thoughts? Did you have issues with tubing? Thanks
I don't have problems with tubing I just have problems once in awhile. The system will act up a little bit and not work, but then it goes away.
Well done as usual cap.
Thanks catfish appreciate your comment
Love the attention to detail on your installs, how is the autopilot holding up?
Thank you cap.👍Is running awesome now pairing it to the Garmin it works 95% of the time perfect but sometimes it's a little harder to Link but then again you can use the autopilot for Raymarine straight without using the chart plotter.
I'm very happy with it the only thing I really don't like about Raymarine is their customer service is awful😬
great job on the installation. Thanks i learned allot.
Awesome Mike thank you for watching captain
Felicitaciones un exelente trabajo !!!!
muchas gracias cap.
capt saludos que tiempo te tomo mas o menos la imstalacion
Ye estava filmandoe el video tambien y tuve que salir a buscar partes ,pero si tuviera la experiencia despues del video lo aria todo en un dia pero como estava aprendiendo y filmando el video como 3 dias, pero me ahorre da $1000 a $2000 en la instalacion de un dealer😉.
Piensas installar uno?
Out On The Reef si pienso poner uno pero garmin a mi me gusta la garmin ya que ellos tienen soporte en español y mi ingles no es muy bueno
pero ese modelo que es el mas barato le sirve para el mio de dos motores
@@DeepBlueChannelCom si le sirve a a dos motores tambien, si tu varco es muy grande recomiendan el reaymarine ev-150
Que grande es tu barco
@@DeepBlueChannelCom el raymarine es mas facil de installar ya tu biste el mio y pronto pondre un video conectando el Reymarine autopilot al Garmin y travajan junto, no con todos los comando pero con lo nesesario que seria seguir la ruta que pongas
If you could buy a new boat right now do you have a specific make and model in mind? I know you’ve done a ton of work to the crooked pilot house but I’m curious with the amount of research you do what kind would you pick?
I have not thought about any other company since I've been so involved on equipment my boat with all my necessities, the right now I just think about how am I going to improve my crooked Pilot House
Great job captain!!
Thank U Nelson.
Tremendo trabajo man saludos
gracias no tenia un hole opener
You must work on the five P's principal. I really enjoyed the install. Thank you.
Thank you for watching Jim😉⚓⚓
Lots of work to get that installed.
The filler coupling on your dash where you fill the oil to was that a factory filler or did you have to install that too?
It was factory installed is very convenient to have it there .
Thank you for your great comment captain
Great job !! I have the exact boat and want to put the same auto pilot in. One question ., the 3 fittings that you had to purchase for the drive pump. what size and where can I get them. also how many liters of hydro fluid did you use
What I did was that I took the pump in the fittings that came with to a hydraulic hose supply store and they have experience there with pipe fittings and they can provide you the pipe fittings right there I don't remember the size of it but they really can help you and give you some great advice remember that not to over tighten the pipe fitting because you will break the pump you can only make few turns with it and I did not need a lot of the hydraulic fluid because I did not let it leak all over the place so it's very careful with it so I only need it like half a quart.
Hope this helps you on your new installation if I can help in any of the wait let me know.👍👍⚓
Great job with the install.. What size fuse did you use between the acu and terminal block? I'm putting the same system in and can't determine what size from the manual.
I don't remember Nick I will have to take a look at the boat but I think I have the wrong size on it
@@OutOnTheReef thanks captain! I'm new to this stuff, and it's frustrating that the manual isn't crystal clear on what's needed. Your video saved me many hours. Thanks again! I'm also connecting to a garmin mfd and used your links to buy the needed cables.
@@NicklausSQ Awesome Nick And yes I never found the fuse size on my manual that's why I don't know what size to use but congratulation on your installation captain
Great Installation!!!
thank Cap.
Great video cap. Your chart plotter is Garmin. Is Raymarine auto pilot compatible with Garmin? Or are these 2 sytems work independently of each other?
I have not done research on that but the cables are somewhat compatible I just need to buy an adapter cable to see how they work or I'mma try to call Garmin because Raymarine was not very helpful
Question Why would you buy a Raymarine Auto pilot, if all your other devices ara Garmin?
The Garmin AP, is much better!!!
Faster, and self learning !!
Maybe more expensive?
yes cap twice as much money but now i do have a Garmin autopilot and it was more expensive but worth every penny
Can you tell me the size and make of your boat? It' looks like a perfect size for a weekend! Thks.....
Is 21 feet one of a kind only one built like this is a Crooked pilothouse boat
Thx for this great video. I have a question about the fittings that go into the pump. The pump has the British BSP standards, but your hydraulic steering is the American NPT standard. Are the pump fittings BSP male/ NPT female?
I took the pump to a hydraulic shop and they gave me great suggestions of what type of fittings they told me pipe fitted so for your different system you may want to go to a specialist and ask them in your area because that's exactly what really helped me
Very clean!
Thanks cap in the next video show you how it works
Another great video. Thank you.
thank you for watching
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching captain👍
You can get any diameter hole saw bits, although I have done it that way a few times...
Lol I know that was a terrible way make a hole but like you say we had to do we have to do sometimes LOL
Capt, how long did it take you to do this install and would you do it all over again or would you rather pay next time? Also, what would you rate the difficulty level for this install?
If I have to do it all over again I will definitely do it myself I trust myself more than a mechanic when it comes to doing things right and the hardest part was the Hydraulics finding the hoses and fittings specially for this installation
Hello. Thanks for the tips. I want to ask you if you know, if this Model of AUTOPILOT, DISENGAGE the RUDDER automatic when is in AUTO ?. and ENGAGE the Rudder if is in STAND BY?
Not sure cap ,are you using it for a sailboat?
@@OutOnTheReef NO, is not for a sailboat. Is just like your boat.
@@brianescalanteaguilera7463 im sorry Brian i dont know buddy, call the Raymarine company they are terrible customer service but maybe they can answer that question
Can I ask if you installed a rudder indicator with this RayMarine autopilot system?
Well I'm not a 100% sure but I know sailboats use this unit for their sailboats so It could be a huge possibility and to make sure a 100% call ray marine and ask him but I think you're able to captain so double check with him hope this helps
16:05 I simply unscrewed the 2 90 degree fittings from the steering helm and put them on the pump. The Sitex kit comes with a straight that I used for the return reservoir. No need to get 3 fittings..
Thanks for the explanation captain appreciate your feedback
Good video. Almost like you have done this before.
LOL Jim this is my first time that I install in autopilot and thank you for watching
And now your the proud owner of a crooked self pilot boat !!! Gooood 2 gooo CAP !!!! Hit the water and feed some coordinates into it and see whats up. 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
LOL and yes now is a crooked self pilot boat you're right about that.
Thank you and I will upload the video soon of the test
@@OutOnTheReef yeah time for water, set course to bimini
@@2fast4you25 lol yes cap. I cant wait
you should remove the protection film, when you are done, all the job, for protect the LCD screen, just a suggestion, great job
Thanks for the tip cap.😉👍
Bold move making a permanent install worth the tape before testing! I think I would have used small bits of tape rather than the large in case I had to swap it out. Great install though.
Understand but i reather do it this way and be done with it, i dont like to do work half way if you know what I mean 😉👍
Can’t wait to see the next video. This may make me put one on my 25 Grady!
@@papaspals you'll like it the installation is not that hard it's just time consuming and you will save more than $1,000 on the installation by doing it yourself and you know it's done right when you do it yourself.
If you do decide to put one on your boat please use my link in the description below and that way I'll get a little commission out of it and that really helps the making of this video captain I will appreciate that.
And I also put the description of the hydraulic hoses I use
Nice job!. Now just push the button and it will auto drive to Habana..lol
Back to Cuba we go lol
Did you buy the orb Tees separetly or did they come in the sitex kit
I had to go to a hydraulic specialist to get those parts there pipe fitted
I mean the ORB TEES that you put in after you took out the elbows
@@peterpaduch152 yes those did cap
do you recieve good fm reception? also what make is the antenna under the helm? thank you
The antenna under the helm is for the Marine kill switch, is that little red thing that I carry on my vet if I fall overboard it will shut off the engine automatically and if you want to find out more information about it I have to link in the description below Captain is an awesome safety device,👍👍⚓
I see you have all Garmin electronics but installed a Ray AP. Can I ask why?
i love the raymarine simplicity ,easy to install, great price that comes along terrible customer service.
and i can still make it compatible with garmin chart plotter with a special cable
Awesome work 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks cap.⚓
Nice clean install👍👍
Thanks captain ⚓👍
Well done Capt! Mine is not hydraulic but other wise very similar install. I do a lot of slow trolling (2-3 mph) and for that it is irreplaceable. 👍
Yes by having an autopilot for slow trolling it's like having a second person on your boat really helps is worth the money👍
you do some arsome work better than most shops here in New York, They are butcher... nicely done...
Thank you so much Cap. That means a lot to me👍👍😉⚓⚓
So, the autopilot works in conjunction with your chart plotter?
yes but you don't get all the features cap , you only get pin point a spot in the chart plotter and thats it, if you want more features you need both brands cap, hope this helps👍⚓
I installed the kit today but was wondering why i couldn't use the o-ring fittings for the pump? Any ideas
Well captain I went to a hydraulic specialist to get the right fittings And the fittings are pipe fitted
@@OutOnTheReef Thank you for all your videos and help I got the kit all installed just need to get out and calibrate
@@dogcopk9 awesome cap i hope everything goes well thanks for watching and let me know how it goes👍
Good job my friend 👊😎
Thanks captain and in the next video I'm going to show you how the autopilot operates😉⚓⚓
Is that a 0.5l pump or the 0.8l
is 100 ev so i guess is the smallest they make cap.
Great Video!
Thanks david😉👍
Hope it works
Sos un genio papa :)
Soy bruto pero aprendiendo jajaja.
Gracias Cap.
Give me please a link for Angle adaptor please you get on Amazon
Those Angle came with the hoses kit from Amazon the link in the discription below cap.
@@OutOnTheReef thanks
Clean install...
Thank you Benny it took a long time but it worked
Use a reciprocating saw to cut next time
yes you are right i just got lazy i did not go to the store to get one👍⚓
A hole saw would've gone a long way to making that controller install quicker and easier. Nice job though!
Yes you're right I could have ran to Home Depot and get a hole saw but it worked not as clean but it did the job and thanks for watching captain
I didn’t want to be the one person who said the hole cutting was a bit primitive.it did work out fine though and you really do care about what you do,It’s very obvious. I guess that’s why that method of a thousand drill holes seemed out of character for you man...A nice little jig saw or that really bad ass Dremil might be a good acquisition for you...beyond that GOOD JOB👍🏻
@@johnm5714 you're right and I have a jigsaw but the reason I didn't use it was because the electronics around it I could not use a jigsaw but I did not want to run to the store and get something else I want to continue with the video that's why I did it that way but everything came out great and that whole imperfection is hitting under the electronic but thanks for the suggestion
Well your damn good at making due with what you have- that’s the sign of a good mechanic.and you are 100% right - can’t see it AFTER the panels installed so not a big deal
One question what do you mean exactly at the end of video the sea star power cable connectivity is that some other device
not sure about your question cap. is all hydraulic hoses
@@OutOnTheReef you said power wire for sea star? It was red and blk I think
@@captainhorsecrank7118 I will have to look at the video game but it's weird because the sea start does not have a black and red wire
@@OutOnTheReef ok great thank you you were talking about the power lead for the ev100 then you mentioned seastar power connectivity also GREAT VIDEO
