Product catalog summary
Introduction to Autopilots
An autopilot is a device that connects to a boat's steering system to maintain an accurate course using data from the compass, wind transducers, or GPS/Plotter. It acts as an extra crew member, allowing for efficient navigation and fuel savings.
Components of an Autopilot
Autopilots consist of three main components: a heading sensor (usually a compass), a course computer/processor and control head (the brains), and a drive mechanism (the business end).
Types of Autopilots
There are two main types of autopilots: Above Deck and Inboard. Above Deck autopilots are easy to install and remain in the cockpit, while Inboard autopilots are more powerful and reliable, mounted below decks.
Installation Recommendations
Consulting a Raymarine approved dealer for installation is recommended to ensure the correct system is specified and installed, which also extends the warranty from 2 to 3 years.
Technical Specifications
Raymarine autopilots integrate with multifunction display products for easy waypoint tracking. They offer a range of systems for various vessel sizes, with components like the course computer, control head, and drive unit tailored to specific needs.
Drive Unit Selection
The drive unit interfaces with the steering system to maintain course. Raymarine offers drive units for hydraulic, mechanical, and power-assisted systems, with specific models for different vessel displacements.
Course Computer and Control Head
The course computer links the control head to the drive unit, featuring technologies like Rate Gyro and Advanced Steering Technology for optimal performance. Control heads are available in push-button or rotary configurations.
Wireless Control Options
Raymarine offers wireless control options like the S100 and SmartController for onboard control, providing flexibility and ease of use.
Specifications and Part Numbers
Detailed specifications for various autopilot models, including power supply, thrust, and connections, are provided. Part numbers for different components are listed for easy reference.
Warranty and Safety Notice
Raymarine offers a 2-year warranty, extendable to 3 years upon registration. Users are reminded to use autopilots as aids to navigation, not as substitutes for sound navigational judgment.
