Hi Folks,
I'm new to this forum and likely this has been addressed before. I am an avid trout & salmon fisherman on Lake Ontario. Trolling at slow speeds for hours at a time is the normal operation. I am considering upgrading from my current single engine 24' I/O to a larger (27') boat with twin 350's with Mercruiser outdrives. Only one of the engines has power steering and the boat is equipped with a Raymarine Sportpilot autopilot. The current owner always trolls with the engine with power steering. What kind of modifications can be made to allow use of either engine individually? Could power steering be added to the other engine as well? How would they work together when being operated together?
Thanks for any insight.
