AutoPilot recommendations

Post by captfrank »

We looks like my Simrad AP11 has bit the dust. What would you guys recommend? Don't want anything fancy just the basics.

Ditto on the Raymarine and you can still use the old Robertson pump!

I have a new chart plotter/radar from raymarine. The es7" i think it is. Yea any thing to reduce costs and reuse components would be great.

ST8002 Control Head on mine. I purchased the S2G Corepack for the remainder of the Autopilot hookup. This was new in 2007.
