Build a commercial autopilot system around the Simrad AP70 MK2 AC70 Course Computer Autopilot Pack, which combines a five-inch high-visibility transflective color TFT control display with an AC70 course computer. The system supports 12V or 24V DC power and accepts heading data from compatible NMEA AHRS, GPS compass, or gyrocompass sources. Its dual NMEA 0183 ports, NMEA 2000 and SimNet compatibility, and IEC 61162-1 and IEC 61162-2 support establish key networking considerations.
The AC70 provides 30A continuous output with up to 50A peak output, while maximum system controller draw is stated at 40A under heavy load. The combined display and junction-pack dry weight is 4.8 kg, or 10.6 lb. It supports hydraulic, mechanical, solenoid-valve, and jet-drive steering configurations, but the selected drive, steering gear, heading sensor, and vessel installation must be evaluated as one complete autopilot system.
Why Choose the Simrad AP70 MK2 AC70 Course Computer Autopilot Pack
The Simrad AP70 MK2 AC70 Course Computer Autopilot Pack combines a five-inch transflective display with 30A continuous and 50A peak drive output. Buyers can compare its 12V or 24V supply, multi-input heading support, NMEA 2000, SimNet, NMEA 0183, and IEC interfaces, hydraulic and mechanical steering compatibility, work-mode profiles, thruster integration, and 4.8 kg combined weight with other commercial autopilot components.
Warranty and Support
Simrad warranty terms vary by product and region, and the supplied specifications do not provide a named warranty period for this autopilot pack. can help you review AC70 drive-current capacity, steering type, heading-source selection, display mounting, NMEA network interfaces, 12V or 24V power requirements, and commissioning considerations before purchase. Review the applicable Simrad warranty coverage and documented package contents before ordering.
Before Ordering the Simrad AP70 MK2 AC70 Course Computer Autopilot Pack
Confirm that your vessel has a compatible drive, steering system, heading sensor, and installation plan for a commercial autopilot system. You should verify the AC70 30A continuous and 50A peak output limits, 12V or 24V supply, 40A maximum controller draw, AP70 MK2 display mounting, NMEA 2000 or SimNet architecture, NMEA 0183 needs, and required dockside and sea-trial commissioning.
