Features

 AP28 System for Power and Sail Boats up to 35 Feet
Combines a Full-Function Control Head with State-of-the-art Auto Steering

The most sophisticated small boat pilot on the market, the AP28 system features a complete set of Turn Patterns -
including Depth Contour Tracking, programmable S-turn, Zig-Zag, Continuous Turn, Square Patterns and many more.
Improved steering algorithms provide smooth and precise turns in any condition and improves tack and gybe
performance on sailboats. No Drift Course maintains the set Course Over Ground even in severe wind and current
conditions. Self calibrating features automatically compensate for the unique handling characteristics of your boat
and sea conditions, insuring optimum performance without the need for expert manual calibration. The system includes:

AP28 Control Head

Featuring an intuitive rotary course change knob, pushbutton controls, and a 5.75" LCD display, the full-function
AP28 control head provides 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 compatible equipment such as GPS navigation
data and wind, depth and speed data. Compass and rudder information can be displayed on Simrad IS20 instruments, and
compass data can also be shared with compatible radars. Expanded multi-station compatibility offers several control
options including use of additional Simrad Autopilot control units (AP24 or AP28), joystick, steering lever, or
hand-held remote.

AC12 Autopilot Computer

The AC12 Autopilot Computer is the brains behind the Simrad autopilot system. It contains both the steering computer
and the electronics for the drive unit and also provides interface to other system components using the proprietary
SimNet data network and standard NMEA 0183 signals. The AC12 will handle the RPU80 pump as well as most of the
smaller linear drive units. Includes 16 ft. of SimNet cable for connection to the display unit.

RC42 Rate Compass

The Simrad RC42 Rate Compass utilizes a solid state rate sensor and a magnetic fluxgate sensor to deliver
exceptional performance in adverse sea conditions and provide stable heading information to radars and other
navigation equipment. The RC42 compass is designed for connection to the SimNet network and will continue to
transmit heading information even if the autopilot is turned off. Comes with 18 feet of SimNet cable.

Virtual Feedback

This unique feature means that no rudder feedback unit is needed for outboards and stern drive boats. Sophisticated
software in the processor estimates rudder position by constantly monitoring heading, rate of turn, and amount of
rudder applied. With a virtual feedback you will save a considerable amount of time and aggravation during
installation and increase the reliability of your autopilot system. Note: A rotary or linear feedback is required
for the display to show actual rudder angle.
Wide Variety of Drive Units Available

This system is designed for use with a mechanical steering system or existing hydraulic pump. See the accessory page
for a list of available drive units.
