Yacht Devices YDAP-04N - Autopilot With NMEA 2000 Micro Male Connector

Consolidated course computer and actuator control unit

Manages vessels up to 40" and 12 tonnes displacement

Supports AUTO, WIND, and TRACK modes with various control options

Benefits:
- Compact design based on modern components, requiring no special ventilation.
- Resin-filled casing for resilience in wet climates.
- No need for a proprietary control head display; only STANDBY and AUTO buttons are required.
- Independence from proprietary sensors or MFDs, utilizing standard NMEA 2000 data.
- Cost-effective, offering substantial savings compared to some autopilot displays.
Considerations for Installation:
- Position STANDBY and AUTO buttons near the helm without a compatible pilot head display or MFD.
- Older autopilots may feature proprietary sensors without NMEA 2000 output, necessitating replacement or adapter installation.
- Manual calibration or enabling support for specific MFDs might be required, involving an NMEA 2000 gateway.
- Troubleshooting or firmware updates may require recording log files, necessitating one of our gateways (YDNR, YDWG, YDNU, or YDEN).
- For new installations, installation of the linear drive or hydraulic pump is essential.
Motivation for Developing the Autopilot:

Aiming to provide an affordable, compatible product with modern electronics for all boaters.

Recognizing the universal utility of autopilots, even on smaller boats.
