I love it how you don’t take NO for an answer. You do all the research and achieve the goal. Big companies just don’t like helping consumers anymore.

Another great video Capt. You have the best small boat video on you tube for sure... I love your tidy installations and that you don’t take no for an answer. Looking towards your next adventure. You are a great teacher...thank you for sharing my friend

love your setup. I will be getting a similar boat and rigging like you have done. Thanks for sharing all the info!

Hi OOTR, nice set-up! It looks like the important functions work well; the boat stays right on the GPS course. My first autopilot-interface (late 1980's?) was with a Ross LORAN receiver and NAVICO autopilot. (The Ross was great; the NAVICO was horrible). Because of delays in signal interpretation the course was a constant 'snake' pattern, but it eventually got us there! Thank you for all the helpful information!

I agree with Tim K below at your persistence in solving issues! Love the videos, learn a lot.

Great DIY video Cap. I'll be waiting for the radar install and your next adventure.Best equipped 21' pilothouse out there.

man you setup is layed out so nice everything neat as it could be.. niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Hey Cap, I don’t know if I would ever buy Raymarine again. They don’t seem to be much help. Either way, great job figuring it all out. That is going to be awesome for your long trips. It will take a lot of stress away and allow you to really enjoy those Hoffman Cay trips!!

Thanks for sharing capt!

The key of success..keep pushing !!! congrats ..

That is Awesome! You now have the Tesla of boats..... Autonomous Boat! Love it!

Thank you for the diligence in putting these videos together. Very informative! In my case, I have an existing Garmin NMEA 2000 backbone with several Garmin devices connected to the network. I’m considering the idea of using SeaTalkng DeviceNet adapter cables to connect the Raymarine autopilot devices directly into the existing NMEA 2000 network (i.e. bypassing the proprietary SeaTalkng backbone). If I were to use the approach outlined in the video, I believe I would have a termination problem - I would essentially have two separate NMEA 2000 backbones, both terminated and connected together by a spur cable. I’m suspecting that configuration would not work. Alternatively, I think I would need to link the two network backbones together in such a way that I end up with a single contiguous backbone with a single terminator at each end. I would welcome any thoughts you have on this ... I’m guessing I will need to bypass Raymarine support and just call Garmin! :-) Cheers.

im waiting for this vid.finaly you did it.i like to hear how you explain and how it work.waiting for what the next.btw nice work buddy.

Another great video. You should be in the boat customizing business

Nice work! Thanks for sharing.

The music sounds like old western movies. Good touch. 😎

You forgot to Thanks me in the video for facilitating the job!!! Well Done!!! Now all you need is the Skydio 2 drone that is complete autonomous!!

Very nice upgrades bro👍

Hands free! 😁. Cada ves mejor capitan!!!

As always bro great job and thanks for the info 👍🤪

Thanks for the ground work

Nice job 👍🏾

I can't believe Raymarine would not help you again! Now navigating to the Bahamas will be a breeze! hope to catch you in the water someday.

very cool great connection to have ...go for it ...

Another great video Cap. Are you going to add radar or sirus xm weather at some point?I know the Garmin will support both of them. Looking for another great trip to Bimini. Thanks for taking us along on video. Fair winds Cap.

Nice work!! That is a great feature. Is it possible to control the throttle? If so I wonder if you added radar if it would be able to go around storms or avoid obstacles. Now you can plot your trip. Sit back and just look out for other boats/obstacles.

Nice Capt. And so easy to hook up. So when you set your course on tge plotter tge auto piolet picks up on it and automatically follows tge course?

Great vid Cap Would this allow you to follow contour lines?

Its amazing how horrible raymarine's customer service is SMFH. You showed them up again though 👍.

Also i had a question about Amazon affiliates can you sign up for Amazon affiliate when you first start out in KZfaq or do you have to first reach a milestone

Once again Raymarine strikes out. Crazy!

Hi Captain, I have a question hoping you would answer. I haven’t seen any videos featuring only the Garmin 942 alone. Are you happy with it? Did it connect to your Yamaha 200 easily, or do you only receive data to the Yamaha command link gauge installed? Also, did you go with a transom mount transducer or through hull? Are the Bahamas charts you use preloaded and if so, how far East are they accurate? As far as Bimini? Or did you purchase an additional blue chart card? aMaybe you could make a video one day demonstrating that. Anyways, thank you for all the hard work and production you put in your videos, they are amazingly good. I just bought a Delta anchor through your amazon link too.

Hey Captain are you planning to go visit the Bahamas soon or are you waiting for them to recuperate From The Storm

I saw your previus video, about Autopailot DIY. Why you decided for 2 different brands? Why not a Garmins autopilot, as this way you could take the advantage of all Garmins feautures? Once again tks for sharing

Well u can say what u want but Raymarine seems to have been very consistent through this cruise control process...they didnt help u again. Thankfully Garmin knew the deal! See I'm a brat and both times I wiuldnt have been able to refrain myself, Both times I would have called back to the person I was talking to that gave me the WRONG information amd.set them straight. 😁 That was great drone footage Ps we r still waiting on the boat 🤨

Great install series! Why led you to choose the Raymarine auto pilot over a Garmin one?

Do I need to use the T fitting? Couldn’t I go from the block directly to the nmea port on my gps 942.

It appears you have a natural ability to speak succinctly, most of us don’t. Makes for great instructional videos. When your boat is finally complete please move more into fishing and tackle. I think you will need to start hunting bigger fish, trigger fish will only take your channel so far. Just my opinion. Great video!

Hello, Sweden calling :-) can you connect the convertercable to existing NMEA backbone or do you have to connect it directly in to the chartplotter?

Hey Capt. What size Garmin gps chartplotter is that that.

How much did you depend all electronics items on your boat? Like chart plotter, Autopilot stuff like this?

Now you'll be able to pick a location and have the auto pilot steer a course right to your fishing hole. NICE.

Would you please describe which piece is which , which cable is which? A more thorough explanation? Thanks

Here’s a question...can you place several waypoints (route) and it will follow? Or can you only place one point to follow.

Awesome Job captain, is there anything you can’t do? Lol

Question? So you no longer have to control the steering wheel. You put location in gps and auto pilot will follow gps location?

Buenas noches capitán , yo tengo todo conectado como dices pero aun así cuando creo la ruta en el GPS no me esta dando la opción de engage the autopilot, en tu video no explicas como fue que hiciste el engage. saludos y muy buenos tus videos

Don't you just love how no one wants to admit anything. Good job again.

It's about time to change that theme music back to the other one I like the other one😁

How do you set it up in the settings on each of them, we connected the wire to both of them but we can’t navigate through the settings of each of them to have it follow the route

capt saludos desde 305 cuando yo me compre mi autipilot tiene que ser la misma marca de los equipos ,,,, no me gusta mesclar las marcas siempre tienen diferencia entre ellos

Paint that generator white or silver it would look more attractive.

Raymarine tells me that Seatalk ng will link the EV 150 to a Garmin MFD. Seatalk is the same as NMEA 2000

Hey Cap! Would you build me a boat JUST LIKE YOURS?!?!?!?!

why couldn't you connect the adaptor cable directly to the block

New to the channel. Good informative videos. Only thing that throws me off is all the face covering. Why hide your face?

Can you provide part#’s?

Aloha, we are from Kauai, Hawaii. Been watching your videos. Very helpful. Is it possible to get your email address to ask more detail questions regarding programing. Mahalo, Captain Lani

What's up with wearing a Buff all the time...even at night. You some kinda' gangsta or just protecting against moonburn?

That's not the company that's the lazy workers

when you gonna cross the ocean??

Raymarine at it’s best again telling you Garmin and your autopilot will not talk to each other.Garmin refutes that and says they will.At least Garmin still has good customer service.Seems to work fine to me.

Does Ray Marine even know what they sell? Your videos are steering me away from Ray Marine...

Raymarine customer service are good for nothing
