Look Mom! No Hands!

One of the gadgets we added to Toy Boat 2 was a Simrad AP12R autopilot. Luxury? Or irreplaceable tool?

Background  |  Installation  |  Commissioning  |  Peformance  |  Safety&Reliability  |  Summary

As we said at the beginning of the article, installing an autopilot was one of the best things we have ever done to the boat.

Would we do it again? - Absolutely! Although we would take a much closer look at the Raymarine Sportpilot Plus.

Was it worth the money? - Absolutely! Like we said before, it's one of the best things we've done to the boat.

What's next? - It turns out the AP14R controller can be retrofitted to the AP12R, and is available as a spare part. We're considering switching out controllers to see if the new controller is worth it. Stay tuned!
