I have an old (13years) but serviceable autopilot on my 46' motor cruiser made by some Italian jokers who were called Nautiradar and are now called Navicontrol.
Like I say it works but I would like to connect it to my charting system and other bits and bobs....if I want to keep the elements such as steering hydraulics and as much of the wiring as possible how do I work out what I can keep and what I have to throw away from the old system if I want to upgrade to a Raytheon or Foruno system....
Ideal solution is to just change to central control black box bit for something a tad more modern....is it that easy???
The Italians have been absolutely no help whatsoever (another reason for swapping over) - with some common sense I can work out what cable does what (hydraulic command, remote station, gyro input etc)...what more do I need to do??
Cheers
