Step 1: Select a Drive Unit
Know Your Boat and your Steering System
The first step in selecting an autopilot from Raymarine is selecting the proper autopilot drive unit for your vessel. Raymarine autopilot drive units are available in array of sizes and configurations to accommodate various steering system types and vessel displacements. To properly select an autopilot you will need to find out what type of steering system is installed. This may involve opening a few hatches and taking a peak at the gear, or this can be a simple as consulting your boat dealer or boat manufacturer.

Step 2: Select a Corepack
Once you have determined the appropriate Drive Unit the next step is to select a SmartPilot Corepack. Corepacks contain the SmartPilot course computers with built in Rate Gyro sensor and Raymarine AST (Advanced Steering Technology).

The final step in the building a Raymarine SmartPilot system is selecting an autopilot Control Head. Here the decision is a matter of personal choice, since each fixed mount SmartPilot control head will offer the same level of autopilot performance. Adding additional control heads is easy thanks to Raymarine’s SeaTalk networking.
