1 INTRODUCTION TO THE AP12R AND AP14R INBOARD AUTOPILOT, AP12D & AP14D
AND I/O DRIVES
The AP12R and AP14R inboard autopilots combine highly sophisticated electronics with advanced
software and powerful drives to provide accurate and reliable steering performance under a variety
of different conditions with minimal current consumption.
The AP12D and AP14D are electronically and operationally identical to the AP12R and AP14R but
use a separate drive connected to the rudder via a second cable instead of the combination
helm / drive unit. This arrangement permits the original helm to be left in place.
The AP12 I/O and the AP14 I/O are identical to the AP12D and the AP14D respectively but include
a universal I/O mounting kit in the package.
AP12R – is suitable for push-pull cable steered power boats up to 9m (30 ft) in length.
AP14R – offers the same facilities as the AP12R with additional remote control facilities.
