Safe Helm 2 Power Assist Question

[Fitz98]

I am looking at the NavPilot 300 Autopilot system for my 22 foot boat.
I am trying to decide if I should also get the Safe Helm 2.
My hydraulic steering and helm takes a little effort to use. I am trying to understand what the power assist function does. Can you help explain its function and what it does to make it a "Power Assist"
Will it make my docking experience any easier, where I might have to turn the wheel several times in different directions in quick succession?
Will it help the steering wheel turn easier?
Will it work in standby mode or does the autopilot have to be on to take advantage of the power assist??

Hello,

Think of the Safehelm2 as power steering for a car. When the unit senses you are steering manual, it will help to make manual steering easier.
