The Simrad AP14 autopilot presents one of the best value packages for power, reliability and performance you can buy. The  AP14 range comes with a portable handheld control head with an LCD display for heading and navigation information.  It uses the same superbly designed course computer for the hydraulic version, and built-in microprocessor technology directly into the sophisticated rotary drive for the cable steered version.  Fluxgate compass technology is used to maintain the course accuracy that is necessary on today's high speed powerboats. These pilots are ideal for single or twin engine outboard, inboard or stern drive powered boats - up to around 30feet in length for push-pull cable or hydraulically steered boats.The design of the AP14 control keypad is rated as one of the best there is.  It has a single auto/standby key to engage/disengage the pilot. Right and left buttons give 1??- 10?? course adjustments. If you suddenly need to take urgent avoiding action use the dodge facility or simply press the Standby/Auto key and take over handsteering.With the boat on the desired heading, a single press of the Auto/Standby key engages the autopilotto hold that course. It couldn't be simpler. Adjustments can be made with the right and left keys.Linked to your GPS, asingle press of the Nav key tells the AP14 to take its commands from your GPS,and follow a path to the next waypoint.This autopilot is built to Simrad's stringent requirements of tough, weatherproof reliability and powerful, accurate performance.Different sea states and boat speeds require different degrees of helm to hold a course. The AP14 has an electronic "intelligence" that automatically adjusts their steering action accordingly.Additional Control UnitsWith the AP14 you can fitup to two additional control units, fixed or handheld, to give full autopilot control wherever you choose around your boat.For Cable Steering - AP14RFor cable steered boatsup to 30 ft. the wheel-drive version of the AP14 are very quick and easy to install.

(90cc-150cc), as well as for boats with hydraulically steered outboards and stern drives.As proof of Simrad's confidence in the quality and performance of its autopilots, the AP14 is offered with a two year comprehensive warranty, supported throughout the world by the international network of Simrad sales and service centers.
