Enhance Your Autopilot Setup with Seamless Mounting
Installing your Simrad autopilot control head just got simpler and more adaptable. This bracket kit transforms rigid setups into flexible solutions, letting you position the unit exactly where it suits your helm station. Whether you’re retrofitting an older boat or customizing a new build, the thoughtful design ensures a secure fit without compromising accessibility.
Robust Features for Marine Demands
Knob-Adjusted Security: Twist-and-lock knobs provide tool-free adjustments, making it easy to tilt, swivel, or reposition on the fly.
Precision Engineering: Crafted from high-grade materials that withstand saltwater exposure, UV rays, and constant vibration from rough seas.
Compact Profile: Sleek design that integrates smoothly with consoles, bulkheads, or overhead mounts without adding bulk.
Universal Compatibility: Tailored specifically for AP70 and AP80 series control heads, ensuring a perfect match every time.
Real-World Advantages for Boaters
Picture this: You’re navigating choppy waters, and a quick glance at your autopilot is all you need—no fumbling with tools or awkward angles. This mount elevates ergonomics, reducing fatigue during long passages. It’s not just about holding the unit; it’s about optimizing your onboard workflow. Anglers appreciate the adjustability for tournament setups, while cruisers value the quick-detach feature for secure storage when docked.
Durability shines through in everyday use—resisting corrosion that plagues lesser mounts. Over time, this means fewer replacements and more time on the water. Pair it with your existing Simrad ecosystem for a cohesive, professional-grade interface that feels custom-built.
Effortless Setup in Minutes
Designed for DIY enthusiasts and pros alike, installation boils down to a few straightforward steps:
Identify your mounting surface and mark hole positions using the included template.
Secure the base plate with corrosion-resistant fasteners suited to your boat’s material.
Attach the control head to the bracket arms.
Tighten knobs for your preferred angle—test for stability before heading out.
Pro tip: In high-vibration areas like the flying bridge, add a touch of marine sealant around the base for extra hold without permanent commitment.
Why This Bracket Stands Out in a Sea of Options
Unlike basic clamps that loosen over time or fixed mounts that limit views, this kit offers versatility without sacrificing strength. It’s the go-to for boaters who demand reliability from their nav gear. Feedback from offshore sailors highlights how the knobs prevent slippage during beam seas, keeping your course steady. Invest in adaptability that grows with your boating adventures—from weekend getaways to extended bluewater runs.
