Need System Advice, Please

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
 
That size cylinder will require the NAVpilot 711c (NP300 is not an option). The pump might be driven by solenoid connection or direct connection you would have to look. Either way the NAVpilot 711C should run it. I would setup any design so that it is not possible to turn on both pilots at the same time.
