WOW a very knowledgeable person on Simrad AP. Can I hire you to set up my AP dockside and running?😅

[richardnaples]

thanks, that was very good. still trying to fine tune our AP 44 on a grady 330. she wanders quite some.

[hartrh]

the auto tune set up is excellent in the video... have to go do that this weekend.

Hi

What steps do you take for the AP48 Controller to execute DCT (Depth Contour Tracking)?

My simrad Evo3 in the autopilot section does not have the installation option. Just chart compass, auto hide bar, commissioning and steering response.
I also can’t do anything after calibrating the compass.

[JamesStevenson-dv]

Autopilot installed and working using your video. Only issue I'm having is I don't see an autopilot option on the home screen of my evo3. I can work control it through the side bar pop out but without the icon I can't build a multi-page with a section dedicated to the autopilot. How do I go about adding that icon?

[jaredandtraceywilliams]

Hi, I see you have a tile on the home page of your MFD for the autopilot that allows you to have full screen rather than just the side bar for Autopilot control. How do you get this to happen. I have an NSS Evo3s with an AP44 and both have the latest software updates.

[alshatti]

How if i want change re action speed … cuz my boat too slowly when autopilot turn left or right 🌹🌹

[tomzimmermani]

ok stupid question new boater here if i am coming to the dock and i want to put my bumpers out is there a hold position setting ?

[CooyaBeach]

On my AP44 with Nac-2 the Sail option is inaccessible. The Boat only gives me Planning and Displacement. How do I enable the Sail choice?

[harigajapathy]

Hi, Please advise my auto - pilot model AC-70 control what problem is this ... When navigation switch ON auto pilot start as ''Auto'' and not able to change ''Stand by''.

[jasoneganis]

How do I calibrate the auto pilot..? We are all over the place… 32 meter Azimut brand new.

[trevorbergman]

I have aTP3 Tillerpilot. What unit is required.

[gabrieladoxan]

Hi, I have the AP44, Nac2 Precision 9 package on a 29 ft boat. When I set it on Auto, it always needs to apply rudder to port, so there is the red line on the top of the heading. Manual is hard to understand, do you have any suggestions as to what settings I need to change?

[rickbaldwin]

I get the the "hold port" part. It takes a little wile for the engine to start turning to port but it does, then I let go at full port & then it says centering rudder but it doesn't center it, it basically turns almost to full stbd. Doing something wrong?

[TheVratz]

In software upgrading of heading controller its not good. Should be possible to upgrade because its connected on the network

[semperficharters]

Can i intergrade my AP44 and Lowrance HDS 12 live

[tomkvalo]

What are the differences between NAC-1, NAC-2 and NAC-3 autopilot computers?

[Exhale]

I had Garmin set up and never opened a manual. I agree Simrad is not user friendly😅

[dabeachman]

How do you use it with MFD other than simrad?
