In the process of purchasing a 1998 272 Sailfish with twin OB's.
Unfortunately there is no autopilot. I don't need a lot of features except point in a direction and go.
There's a Garmin 4208 and some other mixed electronics nothing newer than the 4208.
Just looking for a good AP that I can tie into other electronics down the road.
Also has a second steering station in a half tower. Don't really need an additional head unit, maybe just some sort of remote.
Been out of the boat ownership game for 7 years so I haven't kept on all the latest and greatest.
Just looking for recommendations for that size boat and greatly appreciated.

I added a Garmin GHC 10 auto pilot to my Marlin and it works great with my 4210.

if you don't mind me asking what was the cost of the unit and install?
Feel free to pm if your not comfortable posting prices here.
Thanks for the feedback

I got it as a gift from my son so not really sure what the unit cost, the Garmin site shows $1595. I did have it installed, got charged $981. It did include some added parts to connect it up. If I had it to do over I would have shopped around for a better installation price.
