• the linear rudder position sensor is specifically designed for
‘bullhorn’ style hydraulic outboard steering systems
The autopilot system – other key components
Drive unit
The drive unit translates instructions from the course computer into
rudder movement, so the course computer can steer the boat.
Raymarine produces a wide range of drive units to suit different types
of steering systems.
Control unit
The control unit is the your interface with the autopilot system. You
can use it to:
• engage and disengage the autopilot
• adjust the boat’s course when the autopilot is engaged
• view information about the autopilot system’s status and perform
a range of other functions
Raymarine produces a range of control units to suit different boats
and user requirements.
The autopilot system – extended systems
Around these key components of the autopilot system, you can
extend the system by adding options such as:
• connections to additional control units, SeaTalk equipment or
other manufacturers’ equipment (via NMEA)
• a GyroPlus yaw sensor (if you have a Type 150 or Type 400
course computer without a built-in GyroPlus)
