The Simrad AP70 is the culmination of over 60 years of experience in the autosteering market. Simrad built the world’s first autopilot in 1951 (the AP1) and we now bring you the next generation in autopilot systems.
The AP70 is a reliable and user-friendly heading control system for yachts and powerboats of any size, from 20ft to 100ft+ super yachts and mega yachts.
The AP70 is a state-of-the-art commercial grade autopilot which benefits from an unrivalled adaptive auto-steering system that has been designed for navigators who demand precision steering in all conditions.
The new colour AP70 provides an extremely flexible interface to a variety of steering systems including solenoid, pumps, analog interfaces or proportional systems, jets and thrusters.
Unlike many other autopilots, the AP70 can provide up to 6 individual scenario profiles and is compatible with an extensive range of remote controls and components; all controlled with an easy-to-use interface displayed on a vivid, 5-inch colour screen.
The AP70 is made from ruggedized aluminium, has a 5-inch bonded high sunlight viewable screen, and can be panel (flush) or bracket mounted. You won’t find another pilot on the market that boasts the same performance, durability and versatility without the high cost.
Like all Simrad Yachting products, the AP70 is backed by a full two-year warranty that is supported by a global service network.
