AP70 MK2 Autopilot Basic Pack - Includes AP70 MK2 Control Head, AC70 Course Computer RF300 Feedback
The AP70 Mk2 is a dedicated autopilot controller designed to meet the needs of professional mariners aboard a variety of commercial vessels.
Replacing both the AP70 and AP80 as our IMO/SOLAS autopilot controller, the AP70 Mk2 retains much of the well-reputed platform of its predecessors, but with a brilliant new display and modernised software interface.
The AP70 Mk2 will accommodate installations with up to six drives. Previously only available with the AP80, this premium feature is now a standard in the AP70 Mk2.
Engineered for responsiveness, robustness and ease of use, the AP70Mk2 pairs a precision rotary control dial with dedicated buttons for instant access to steering modes, several custom-configurable work modes and multiple rudder/thruster integration.
Wheelmarked for use on SOLAS vessels
The AP70 Mk2 builds on, and continues the legacy of the SIMRAD Pro autopilot product portfolio. Its performance, robustness and quality are proven and recognized with the wheelmark symbol, making it suitable for all vessels ranging from small work- boats to large tankers.
Advanced configuration and tuning options to suit all ships
Parameters ranges and tuning options to support vessel dynamics. Adjustable for all weather conditions, hull types, work situations. Suitable for retro-fit on old ships as well as modern new-builds.
Compatible with all common rudder/drive types
Water jet, Azi-pods, Voith-Schneider, Rudder, outboard. Control signals to control, hydraulic pumps, solenoids, analog current/voltage, control/handshake signals.
Up to 6 rudders/thrusters integration
Dual rudders, fore and aft thrusters supports large and complex installations and redundancy.
Heavy-duty rudder feedback support
Simrad heavy-duty rudder feedbacks are supported.
Configurable Work Mode and Low/High Speed Modes
Autopilot settings can be tuned for optimal performance in separate low-speed, high-speed, and Work modes. The user-configurable Work mode allows the autopilot system to be configured for optimal response in a specific situation, such as a fully laden vessel, configurable thruster usage.
No Drift Steering
No Drift mode integrates GPS navigation with auto-steering, using position data to counteract the effects of wind and tide. This allows the AP70 Mk2 to maintain a straight track over ground on the current course, without the need to manually set a waypoint or route.
Navigation steering, route following
Navigation steering controls the ship on a pre-planned route from a Simrad MFD, Simrad ECDIS or third party MFD and ECDIS.
Command transfer and multiple control stations support
Command transfer is a mechanism useful in multi-controller installations. It enables the officer on watch to allow, deny the transfer of autopilot control to control devices such as a secondary AP70 Mk2 or a remote controller on a bridge wing station, above deck, or aft bridge depending on the work scenario. The AP70 Mk2 can also be used in an open configuration, where control flow is unrestricted.
Included in Package:
- AC70 SIMRAD AUTOPILOT COMPUTER - 000-10186-001

Simrad AP70 MK2 Autopilot Basic Pack is a professional marine autopilot control system designed for commercial vessels, including workboats, tankers, and other SOLAS-class vessel applications. This package combines the AP70 MK2 Autopilot Control Head, AC70 Course Computer, and RF300 Feedback with a 10-meter cable link to provide a coordinated solution for marine steering control.
Built for demanding vessel installations, the AP70 MK2 features a dedicated control interface with a precision rotary dial and direct-access buttons for steering modes. Its software and configuration options support vessel-specific tuning across low-speed, high-speed, and user-configurable Work modes. The system is designed to accommodate installations with up to six drives and supports multiple rudder and thruster configurations for complex vessel layouts and redundancy requirements.
The Simrad AP70 MK2 supports common rudder and drive types, including water jets, azimuth pods, Voith-Schneider propulsion, rudders, and outboards. It can also provide navigation steering and route following when connected with a Simrad multifunction display, Simrad ECDIS, or compatible third-party MFD or ECDIS. No Drift Steering uses GPS position data to help maintain a straight track over ground while compensating for wind and tide effects.
Suitable for retrofit projects and modern new-build installations, the AP70 MK2 includes command transfer and multiple control station support. This allows autopilot authority to be transferred between approved control devices, such as a secondary AP70 MK2 or remote controller located at a bridge wing, above deck, or aft bridge. The package also supports Simrad heavy-duty rudder feedback systems.
