The Yacht Devices YDAP-04N is a compact NMEA 2000 autopilot course computer and actuator control unit designed for rudder-equipped vessels up to 12 tonnes displacement. It supports AUTO, WIND and TRACK operating modes and can control a compatible rudder drive and clutch with a 7–29 V drive/clutch circuit, up to 10 A continuous and 16 A peak motor current, and up to 10 A clutch current. The NMEA 2000 interface operates from 7–16 V and consumes up to 20 mA; the unit provides 2500 VRMS galvanic isolation between NMEA 2000 and other interfaces.

Yacht Devices YDAP-04N NMEA 2000 Autopilot with Micro Male Connector, 12/24 V, 10 A Continuous / 16 A Peak
The Yacht Devices YDAP-04N is an integrated NMEA 2000 autopilot course computer and actuator control unit designed for automatic steering of rudder-equipped vessels. According to the manufacturer, it is suitable for vessels up to 12 tonnes displacement, depending on the steering gear, and requires a rudder drive unit with a clutch.
The autopilot supports AUTO, WIND and TRACK operating modes and receives the navigation, heading, rudder and other required data through the NMEA 2000 network. It can be controlled through physical buttons, compatible multifunction displays, digital switching, supported navigation applications or Yacht Devices Web Gauges when used with a compatible gateway.

Operating Modes
Mode Function STANDBY Autopilot disengaged; vessel is steered manually AUTO Maintains the selected heading or course WIND Maintains a selected wind angle using wind data from the NMEA 2000 network TRACK Follows navigation and waypoint data from a chart plotter or compatible navigation source
AUTO Mode Requirements
AUTO mode requires at minimum rudder angle and heading data. When activated, the current azimuth is used as the target heading and the autopilot controls the rudder drive to maintain it.
WIND Mode Requirements
WIND mode requires rudder angle, heading, magnetic variation, wind speed and wind direction data on the NMEA 2000 network. Water speed or COG and SOG data can additionally be used for theoretical wind calculations.
TRACK Mode Requirements
TRACK mode requires rudder angle, magnetic variation, heading, COG and SOG, together with current navigation and cross-track data from an external chart plotter or compatible navigation application.
Physical Control
The YDAP-04 supports an external control panel with up to five function buttons. The panel itself is not supplied.

The control buttons can be used to change operating modes, adjust target heading or wind angle, change tack in WIND mode, perform sharp turns and dismiss audible alarms.
Digital Switching and CZone
The autopilot can also be controlled over NMEA 2000 using PGN 127501 Binary Status Report and PGN 127502 Switch Bank Control. The device uses 12 digital switching channels for autopilot commands.

CZone control is supported with compatible modern chart plotters, including supported Simrad, Lowrance, B&G and Raymarine MFDs.
MFD and Remote Control Integration
- Compatible with supported Raymarine chart plotters
- Compatible with supported Simrad, B&G and Lowrance chart plotters
- Supports control through Yacht Devices Web Gauges
- Supports compatible navigation applications through an appropriate NMEA 2000 gateway
- Supports PC, tablet and smartphone control through compatible Yacht Devices IP-based gateways
Leeway Compensation
Leeway compensation can be used in AUTO and TRACK modes. The function uses heading, water speed and COG/SOG data to adjust the target heading and reduce the effect of wind and water current on the vessel's actual course.
System Requirements
- Compatible rudder drive unit with clutch
- NMEA 2000 network
- Rudder angle sensor
- Heading sensor such as compass or gyro
- Required navigation data for the selected operating mode
- External control buttons, compatible MFD or other supported control interface
