Simrad AP70 MK2 AC70 Course Computer Autopilot Pack

Description

The Simrad AP70 MK2 AC70 Course Computer Autopilot Pack eliminates dangerous course deviations and tracking drift on commercial workboats, offshore sportfishers, and mega yachts by deploying an elite commercial-grade guidance system. Engineered with a highly versatile 12 Volts DC or 24 Volts DC adaptive layer, this commercial steering package maintains precise ship handling across hydraulic, mechanical, jet drive, and solenoid valve steering configurations. Operators and fleet captains can navigate complex shipping channels or turbulent offshore waters safely, relying on automated helm algorithms to handle massive mechanical vessel stress.

Constructed with an IPX6 Front Panel Facia Panel Rigging Guard, the rugged display unit prevents water ingress from heavy sea spray during high-traffic industrial deployments. The heavy-duty AC70 Course Computer sustains an impressive 30 Amps continuous output to deliver rapid, repeatable steering corrections without triggering power faults or internal component stalls. Procuring this premium commercial-grade navigation bundle secures multi-million dollar maritime assets and protects commercial shipping timetables from unexpected system failure downtime.
