Upgrade your vessel’s navigation with the reliable performance of a remanufactured Raymarine P70s autopilot control unit. Designed for boaters who demand precision steering without the premium cost of new gear, this compact controller brings advanced autopilot functionality to smaller consoles and helm stations. Its rugged build handles harsh marine environments, ensuring you stay on course during long days on the water.
What sets this unit apart is its balance of simplicity and power. Whether you’re dodging waves in rough seas or maintaining a steady track on open water, the intuitive controls and vibrant display keep operations smooth. Remanufactured to meet original standards, it offers like-new reliability at a fraction of the expense, making it a smart pick for savvy skippers maintaining or retrofitting their setups.
Standout Features for Seamless Steering
The heart of this controller is its 3.5-inch sunlight-readable display, which cuts through glare with optically bonded LCD technology. This means sharper images, richer colors, and a broad viewing angle—perfect for bright decks or angled helm positions. No more squinting at faded screens when conditions turn tough.
Versatile Autopilot Modes: Switch effortlessly between Auto, Standby, Pattern, Track, Wind Vane, Power Steer, and Jog Steer to match your boating style—from relaxed cruising to high-performance racing.
Customizable Displays: Tailor data views with a quick three-step setup optimized for leisure outings, extended voyages, or competitive sails.
User-Friendly Interface: Lighthouse-inspired software paired with a tactile rubber keypad ensures precise inputs, even with wet hands or gloves.
Smart Networking: Integrates seamlessly via SeaTalkng, opening doors to Raymarine multifunction displays and NMEA2000 ecosystems for a unified boat network.
Flexible Aesthetics: Comes with interchangeable black and gunmetal bezels, plus a protective sun cover, to blend with your console’s look.
Why Boaters Trust This Controller
Imagine heading out for a weekend cruise: the P70s handles heading adjustments automatically, freeing you to enjoy the scenery or monitor sails. In performance scenarios, pattern steering lets you practice maneuvers or follow precise routes with confidence. Its low power draw—under 2 watts—means it won’t drain batteries on extended trips, and the IPX6 waterproof rating shrugs off spray and rain.
Dimming controls adjust for night watches, reducing eye strain without losing readability. For vessels with multiple stations, group dimming synchronizes lighting across units. Remanufactured units undergo rigorous testing, so expect consistent performance backed by Raymarine’s marine-grade engineering.
Real-World Applications
Leisure Boating: Simple auto modes keep you on a straight path while fishing or entertaining guests.
Cruising: Track mode follows GPS routes for efficient passages.
Performance Sailing: Wind Vane and patterns optimize upwind legs or gybes.
