Simrad Autopilots

Simrad AutopilotsSimrad  -  Shotgun Marine Proud AUTHORISED Service Agent

Simrad autopilots are built for serious offshore and coastal boating, giving smooth, accurate steering when you’re trolling, cruising or punching out wide. A well-matched Simrad pilot takes the workload off the helm and keeps the boat tracking cleanly in changing conditions.

With adaptive steering and strong integration with Simrad navigation systems, these autopilots handle swell, wind and current without constantly hunting. Set up right, they steer predictably and stay on course even when the sea state turns ordinary.

Below you’ll find our range of Simrad marine autopilots, with options to suit different boat sizes, steering types and boating styles.

Simrad Autopilot Installation & Setup

Simrad Autopilot FAQs

What Simrad autopilot suits my boat?

It depends on boat size, weight, steering type and how you use the vessel. Smaller boats suit compact systems, while heavier offshore and cruising boats need higher-capacity drives.

Do Simrad autopilots work well offshore?

Yep -  when matched and tuned properly. Simrad autopilots are designed for offshore use and steer smoothly in swell, wind and current.

Will a Simrad autopilot integrate with my Simrad electronics?

In most cases, yeh. Simrad systems are designed to integrate cleanly with compatible displays and onboard networks for route following and heading control.

Is a heading sensor important for Simrad autopilots?

Absolutely. Accurate heading input improves steering response and reduces wandering or over-correction, especially in rough conditions.

How long does a Simrad autopilot install usually take?

Install time varies depending on steering type, access and existing wiring. Straightforward installs are quicker, while full integrations and tidy rewires take longer.
