twin outboard ap with scx20

[crossbones]

i'm a little lost. jupiter 31 with twin 300 suzuki obs, twin tzt2, seastar helm and dual steering rams. from what i have been reading the scx20 can be used in place of the compass which comes in most of the ap packages offerred. it seems that the scx20 offers benefits over the other heading sensor that may not be fully realized yet, but which may be available in the future. as such i don't want to short myself the potential benefits of the scx20. also, after just having a custom dash installed i'm not sure i want to add the comtrol display if i don't have to. so, is there a way to run an appropriate ap without using the dedicated display (using the mfd instead), but incorporating the scx 20 instead of the heading sensor in the package deals? if so, can you please let me know which parts i would need to order to make this thing work. i hope i explained things well enough but i'm sure i didn't, so ask away. if i have a screw loose and am imagining impossible solutions feel free to let me know that as well

At least one Autopilot control head must be installed to turn ON/OFF the pilot. While you will have most control abilities for operations via the MFD, you still need a control head installed.

incorporating the scx 20 instead of the heading sensor in the package deals?

Yes the pilot can use the SCX20 instead of the PG700 or other source.

if so, can you please let me know which parts i would need to order to make this thing work.

What is the total of both of your steering rams (cubic inches) added together?

 

[crossbones]

each ram would be 8.34 cu inches so adding the 2 would be about 16.7 cu inches

I would recommend the PUMPOCT16-12 (12v pump) it is rated for ram sizes of 12-23 cubic inches. You can run it with the Navpilot 300 or the NavPilot 711C.
