Designing an autopilot system comes down to your boat and steering. An autopilot needs a control head and computer, an accurate heading sensor, and a drive matched to your steering, mechanical or hydraulic, and rudder load. Match the system to your boat size and steering type, and confirm the drive is sized to move your rudder with adequate force. Plan the installation, including the heading sensor location and rudder feedback if used. These are integral steering systems, so confirm compatibility and consider professional installation. Review the product details and your steering specs before buying. With ComNav Marine autopilots, you get reliable hands-off steering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a marine autopilot do?

A marine autopilot steers the boat automatically to hold a set heading or follow a route, freeing you from the helm and reducing fatigue on long runs. It uses a heading sensor and a drive that moves the rudder, keeping a steadier course than hand steering.

What does an autopilot system include?

An autopilot system includes a control head and computer, an accurate heading sensor or compass, and a drive matched to your steering and rudder. Some add rudder feedback and GPS. Match the components to your boat and steering type for proper, reliable operation.

How do I match the drive to my steering?

The drive must suit your steering type, mechanical or hydraulic, and be sized to move your rudder with adequate force and speed for your boat. An undersized drive will not steer well. Confirm the drive matches your steering and rudder load in the product details.
