Soon to be annoying new guy here with another question.
So i was at the cap trying to troll a hoochie on one of my first solo salt water adventures and i discovered that it's pretty hard to troll, track depth and speed and set up downriggers as a 50 plus yr old . (Dont ask) its all about the actual passage of time and the passage of time in an old head. So i left that nightmare and decided to go get an autopilot. I just read a thread about a lowrance and a garmin reactor 40 autopilot which triggered this question. Can i use a garmin rector 40 autopilot with a lowrance elite? Ive been trying to get a lowrance cable steer auto pilot but im not comfortable ordering one from back east for 2 k$ not fully knowing about it. The rector 40 is 1 k$ more .lowrance cs gave me a model number of what to get but that doesn't jive with what's for sale online . Any advice would be much appreciated. And fyi this is not that guy who set the cruise control in the rv and went for a nap
