So what is an autopilot? An autopilot connects to the steering system and continually corrects the boat's heading with information supplied by the compass wind transducers or GPS/Plotter. Autopilots are designed to maintain an accurate course in various sea conditions with minimal helm movements. They can act as a spare pair of hands or an extra crew member allowing the crew to trim the sails or get the fenders over the side. Because they steer so accurately they will save fuel and get get the boat to its destination faster especially when connected to a chartplotter. Invented by Autohelm in 1973 tiller pilots have consistently been the world?s most popular pilot ever since setting the standard for performance reliability and ease of use. Advanced features are standard. AutoTack lets the crew handle the sheets while the pilot tacks the boat and AutoSeastate intelligently keeps the boat on course while conserving power. html-body [data-pb-style="6390725651A41"]{justify-content: flex-start; display: flex; flex-direction: column; background-position: left top; background-size: cover; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: scroll; border-style: none; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 10px;} html-body [data-pb-style="6390725651A4A"]{border-style: none; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;}
