Simrad

<h3>Simrad: Precision Marine Electronics for Every Boater</h3><p><strong>Simrad Yachting</strong> has been a cornerstone of marine electronics since its founding in 1947. A world-class manufacturer of marine electronics, Simrad's product lineup spans navigation systems, fishfinders, chartplotters, radar, sonar, and more. Originally rooted in Norway, the brand has grown into a globally recognized name trusted by offshore anglers, weekend cruisers, and professional mariners alike.</p><h3>Integrated Systems Built for the Helm</h3><p>The Simrad marine electronics system is designed to serve as the central hub of a boat, smoothly integrating all equipment and functions into a single screen — connecting sonar, radar, autopilot, engine data, digital switching, lighting, entertainment, and more. This philosophy of seamless integration sets Simrad apart: rather than a collection of standalone devices, their ecosystem is engineered to communicate and work together.</p><p>At the heart of many Simrad setups are their Fishfinders, GPS &amp; Chartplotters. Simrad Yachting offers a variety of chartplotter and fishfinder options designed to meet the needs of every type of boat and activity, with key considerations including screen size, intended use, and the ability to integrate with other onboard devices. From the approachable GO series for smaller sportboats to the flagship NSS and NSO multifunction displays built for demanding offshore conditions, there is a Simrad chartplotter for every helm.</p><h3>Radar, Autopilot, and Advanced Navigation</h3><p>For situational awareness and hands-free operation on the water, Simrad's Radars &amp; Autopilots represent some of the brand's most respected technology. Simrad's CHIRP-enabled Broadband Sounder fishfinder technology, StructureScan 3D sonar imaging, and high-resolution Halo radar give boaters the tools to search deeper, wider, and farther. The HALO radar series in particular is renowned for its solid-state pulse compression technology, delivering exceptional target separation and collision avoidance capabilities.</p><p>Complementing the radar suite, Simrad's Autopilot Components bring precision steering control to vessels of all sizes. The AP44 Autopilot Controller combines Simrad Continuum steering technology with a full-color display, intuitive rotary dial and button controls, and a modern glass helm design. Whether navigating a long offshore passage or maneuvering in tight quarters, Simrad's autopilot lineup delivers reliable, responsive control.</p><h3>Sounder Modules and Navigation Accessories</h3><p>For boaters who want to expand an existing system, Simrad offers dedicated Sounder Modules that add powerful sonar capability to compatible multifunction displays. Simrad's sounder and processor modules are designed to integrate across networked helm setups, supporting dual monitors and dual radar systems while sharing cartography data throughout the network. These modules make it straightforward to upgrade sonar performance without replacing an entire display system.</p><p>Rounding out the ecosystem, Simrad's Navigation Parts &amp; Accessories — including transducers, mounting hardware, cables, and antennas — ensure every component of the system is installed cleanly and performs to its full potential. Simrad displays and electronics are designed to network seamlessly via NMEA 2000&reg; and Ethernet, making accessories an essential part of building a cohesive, high-performance helm.</p><h3>Why Boaters Choose Simrad</h3><p>Out on the water, the gear you choose makes the difference between uncertainty and confidence — and Simrad's commitment to quality and reliability is built to get you there. Whether you are rigging a bass boat for tournament fishing, outfitting a center console for offshore runs, or building out the helm of a luxury cruiser, Simrad's depth of product and proven integration make them a go-to brand for serious mariners worldwide.</p>

This control head features a modernized software interface with a brilliant new display while retaining the proven reliability of its predecessors.

Professional Marine Certification:

Wheelmarked for use on SOLAS vessels with IMO and MED-B certification, the AP70 Mk2 is suitable for vessels ranging from small workboats to large commercial tankers. Its performance and build quality meet the rigorous standards required for professional maritime operations.

Advanced Control and Integration:

  • Precision rotary control dial with dedicated buttons for instant steering mode access
  • Support for up to 6 rudders/thrusters with dual rudder and fore/aft thruster integration
  • Compatible with all common drive types including water jet, Azi-pods, Voith-Schneider, rudders, and outboards
  • Heavy-duty rudder feedback support for accurate position monitoring
  • Multiple control station support with command transfer capability for multi-bridge configurations

Intelligent Steering Modes:

  • Configurable Work Mode allows autopilot optimization for specific vessel conditions and loading scenarios
  • Separate low-speed and high-speed mode tuning for optimal performance across all operating conditions
  • No Drift Steering integrates GPS data to counteract wind and tide effects, maintaining a straight track over ground
  • Navigation steering with route following capability from Simrad MFD, ECDIS, or third-party navigation systems

Versatile Configuration:

The AP70 Mk2 offers extensive parameter ranges and tuning options to accommodate diverse vessel dynamics, hull types, and weather conditions. Advanced configuration capabilities make it suitable for both retrofit installations on older vessels and integration into modern new-build projects. Control signal outputs support hydraulic pumps, solenoids, analog current/voltage, and control/handshake signals.
