This package includes the AP70 Mk2 autopilot control head, AC70 course computer, and RF300 rudder feedback with a 10-meter cable link. Designed for responsive, reliable operation, the system combines a precision rotary control dial with dedicated steering-mode buttons, configurable work modes, and support for complex rudder and thruster installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AP70 Mk2 replaces the previous AP70 and AP80 IMO\/SOLAS autopilot controllers while retaining the proven Simrad Pro platform and adding a bright display with a modernized software interface. With support for up to six drives, the system is suited to large and complex vessels requiring multiple rudders, fore and aft thrusters, or redundant steering arrangements. It is compatible with common drive types, including rudders, water jets, azimuth pods, Voith-Schneider propulsion, and outboards, with support for hydraulic pumps, solenoids, analog current or voltage signals, and control or handshake signals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheelmarked for SOLAS vessels\u003c\/strong\u003e, the AP70 Mk2 is engineered for professional marine environments ranging from workboats to large tankers. Advanced configuration and tuning options allow settings to be optimized for vessel dynamics, hull type, weather conditions, and operating requirements, making the system suitable for both retrofit projects and modern new-builds. Low-speed, high-speed, and user-configurable Work modes help maintain precise performance in changing conditions, including fully laden operations and situations requiring thruster use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntegrated No Drift Steering uses GPS position data to counteract wind and tide, helping the vessel maintain a straight track over ground without requiring a manually entered waypoint or route. Navigation steering supports route following from compatible Simrad multifunction displays, Simrad ECDIS, or third-party MFD and ECDIS systems. Command transfer and multiple control-station support allow control to be managed between primary and secondary autopilot heads or remote stations, including bridge wing and aft bridge locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional commercial-vessel autopilot controller with IMO\/SOLAS suitability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes AP70 Mk2 autopilot control head, AC70 course computer, and RF300 feedback with 10-meter cable link\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports up to six rudders or thrusters for complex and redundant steering installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with rudders, water jets, azimuth pods, Voith-Schneider propulsion, and outboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports hydraulic pumps, solenoids, analog current or voltage signals, and control or handshake signals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheelmarked for use on SOLAS vessels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfigurable low-speed, high-speed, and Work modes for varied vessel conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Drift Steering uses GPS data to compensate for wind and tide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNavigation steering and route following from compatible Simrad or third-party MFD and ECDIS systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommand transfer and multiple control-station support for flexible bridge operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty Simrad rudder feedback compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced tuning options for retrofit and new-build vessel installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Simrad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44871895482410,"sku":"86345","price":3518.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/86345XL.jpg?v=1789775348","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/simrad-ap70-mk2-autopilot-basic-pack-part-number-000-15039-001","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
