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.

I was looking for a mask and snorkel to take on holiday and after taking Russell’s advice I found exactly what I was looking for. My order from Waterworld sports was received on the following Monday after I had placed the order on the Friday before. Very pleased with my mask and snorkel and the overall service.
Thanks Russell.

Excellent company for our first Watersport purchases (snorkelling). Great prices and communication via email and phone to help us select the right gear. Also nice to know they have a shop in Greater London for collection, or you can use the super fast delivery which arrives on time (when it should).
Very personal service to supply a wetsuit, starting from a Google search for a specific brand and size, followed by personal engagement by Russel to check in size, agree price and shipment. Thank you
