Greetings,
Thanks to all for the generous flow of information here.
I am looking for guidance on what Furuno autopilot (and associated gear) to install, please.
Here are our boat characteristics:
40’ recreational trawler, full displacement, #55k, 6-7 knot cruise, 8 top, 107hp. Single 18ci cylinder on a fairly large rudder.
We have a Navnet 3d outfit (3 MFDs) now, including a SC30, and 6kw/4ft radar.
Moving to TZT3 outfit (3 MFDs), sat compas, and probably a DRS25NXT/4.
Current autopilot will stay (Simrad) but need to add new Furuno for redundancy.
Ideas, advice, guidance all needed.
Thank You
Jeff
