Autopilot recommendation

Larman · Nov 19, 2024

I would like to replace my current ancient autopilot. My boat is a 1987 SeaRay 410c with twin diesels. Will the navipilot work for my set up?

Not enough information. What is the steering system? What is the cylinder size? Does the ancient pilot have an existing pump that still works?

Hydraulic steering with a BA125x7-BJ steering ram is 7.2 cubic in. Pump is no longer good. This is a twin diesel engine boat, dual rudders one steering ram controlling both rudders.

Sounds like the best option would be the NAVpilot 300 with a 12v reversible pump. If you don't already have a good source of heading on the boat, I would get the SCX20 for the needed heading over using a PG700 flux gate.
