Simrad's VIRTUAL FEEDBACK TECHNOLOGY, this unique feature, recently introduced to Simrad autopilots means that no rudder feedback unit is needed for outboards and stern drive boats. In terms of installation, you will save a huge amount of time and aggravation thanks to this sophisticated new feature.
Complete set of Turn Patterns – including Depth Contour Tracking, programmable S-turn, Zig-Zag, Continuous turn, Square patterns and many more.
Improved steering algorithms – full Rate Of Turn (ROT) control provides smooth and precise turns in any condition and improves tack and gybe performance on sailboats.
No Drift Course – Maintain set Course Over Ground even in severe wind and current conditions.
Automatic Tuning - The AP24 include a number of self calibrating features that automatically compensate for the unique handling characteristics of your boat and sea conditions, insuring optimum performance without the need for expert manual calibration.
Contour Steering - This unique Simrad feature utilizes data from your fishfinder or depth instrument to maintain a set water depth, just as if you were manually steering your boat along depth contours on a paper chart. This leaves you free to concentrate on the big catch, enjoy the shoreline view or trim your sail.
Advanced Wind Steering - The AWS feature provides unbeatable autopilot performance for any sailing vessel. AWS is ideal for single handed sailing or racing. Utilizing wind and GPS data simultaneously, it is possible to hit long distance waypoints dead-on, without deviating from the original course line or build-up of significant cross track error.
Data Pages - The AP24 includes a number of data pages where you can view autopilot parameters such as compass heading, set course, rudder position, as well as information received from other SimNet compatible equipment such as GPS navigation data and IS20 wind, depth and speed data.
Multi-Station Operation - Expanded multi-station compatibility offers several control options including use of the AP28 control unit. Any future autopilot control units will also work thanks to the SimNet system.
No pump included. Only Electronics.
