Simrad AP44 Autopilot Display

Simrad Display AP44
The AP44 Autopilot Control combines Simrad Continuum steering technology with a color display, intuitive knob and button controls and a modern glass dashboard. With this dedicated control that simplifies access to automatic turn patterns, No Drift steering, DCT (Depth Contour Tracking) steering and other advanced steering settings, you can leave the rudder and navigate with confidence while discovering new ways to fish. Plus, by connecting your chartplotter you can add waypoints or a navigation route and enjoy full autopilot control from compatible Simrad displays.

4.1-inch color display with optical coating
Having a global overview of heading, route and general status information is critical when relying on autopilot. The AP44 autopilot control performs this task thanks to the color graphics and intuitive menus that reproduce all information in detail on the screen.

To ensure excellent visibility in all conditions, the AP44 is equipped with an LCD panel with optical coating glued to the protective glass that eliminates any possible formation of condensation inside the display. Transflective LCD technology uses reflected sunlight to illuminate the screen instead of obscuring it, ensuring excellent daytime visibility and lower power consumption than conventional backlit displays.

Intuitive autopilot control
The purpose of a dedicated autopilot control is to allow immediate access to the self-steering features, making key controls easily accessible. Designed with this in mind, the AP44 autopilot controller features an intuitive interface with just four buttons and a knob for entering commands. The knob control allows you to make small and large changes in the course with speed and precision and to easily select options from the on-screen menu without having to repeatedly press buttons.

Simrad Continuum steering technology
The innovative Simrad steering systems are the result of over 60 years of research work in the field of autopilot systems development and which continues today at the Simrad Yachting research center in Norway. It is from our experience that the Continuum algorithm is born: the software that manages the Simrad government technology. Continuum encompasses all the years of research and experience at sea offering an intelligent pilot able to steer the boat in complete reliability. Simrad autopilot solutions are available for a wide range of applications, from small pleasure boats to large merchant ships.

Automatic turn patterns
The Simrad autopilot can do more than just stay on course. The AP44 autopilot control offers a set of preset turn patterns designed to make fishing, diving or simply making the boat perform a U-turn easier. Simply choose the turn and select port or starboard. For added control, you can customize the turn pattern by having the boat perform complex spiral movements, zigzag paths and other useful maneuvers.

Government No Drift
No Drift mode combines GPS navigation with self-steering, using the boat's position to counterbalance the action of wind and current. By doing so, it allows you to maintain a precise heading with respect to the ground following your current destination, without the need to manually set a waypoint or a route. To enable this useful feature, the AP44 autopilot controller must be connected to a GPS receiver connected to the NMEA 2000® network or a compatible Simrad chartplotter.

DCT (Depth Contour Tracking)
The AP44 autopilot controller can be connected to a compatible sonar to enable DCT steering. In this mode, the AP44 control maintains a constant depth below the vessel - an ideal feature for following bottom contours when fishing or navigating, without having to set up a complex route with multiple waypoints.

Simplified installation with automatic tuning
The installation and commissioning of the autopilot does not have to be lengthy and complicated procedures. The AP44 autopilot control includes automatic tuning to ensure optimal self-steering performance: just follow a simple on-screen commissioning procedure that includes dock configuration and sea trial. The Simrad Precision-9 solid-state compass is also equipped with an automatic calibration function, to further simplify autopilot setup and ensure the best possible heading accuracy.

Compact glass facia design
Designed to complement the Simrad glass dashboard displays, instruments and controls, the AP44 autopilot control features a modern design with a slim mounting profile of just 8mm. Its compact size allows it to be mounted virtually anywhere, while the large display ensures maximum visibility and ease of use.

D. Buongiorno. Vi contatto per chiedervi se il controllo AP44 è compatibile con il AC 42. Ho letto che con un adattatore nmea 2000 - SIMNET è possibile installare l’AP44. Voi potreste fornirmi il giusto adattatore e l’AP44 se confermato quanto letto in Internet? Grazie Cordiali Saluti, Alberto Mario Mereu.
R. 19-11-23 Buongiorno, confermo la compatibilità. Serve questo cavo adattatore: https://www.painestore.it/cavo_micro-c_femmina_a_simnet_da_4_m_13ft_che_collega_un_prodotto_nmea2000_a_s Cordiali saluti. Luigi Bianchi

D. Salve, durante una regata velica sotto un temporale mi è affogato il controller AP24. L'ho aperto in navigazione per vedere di asciugarlo, ma maldestramente ho rotto una parte del display. Diciamo che funziona ma non è più "operabile". Volendo "svecchiare" lo posso sostituire con l'AP44?
R. 17-04-23 Buon pomeriggio, purtroppo non sono compatibili, le uniche soluzioni sono quelle di trovare un AP24 usato, o sostituire tutta la parte elettronica tranne il pistone. Cordiali saluti. Luigi Bianchi
D. salve vorrei sapere se questo pilota va bn per un peschereccio di 22.6 metri buona serata
R. 28-09-22 Buongiorno, questo è solo il display, dove si deve aggiungere tutta la parte elettronica e la pompa idraulica. Dovrei sapere anche le caratteristiche del pistone idraulica della timoneria. In definitiva, un pilota per un peschereccio completo di pompa può variare fra i 4/6.000,00 euro. Cordiali saluti. Luigi Bianchi
