What happens if it suddenly decides that you need to lose altitude?

I thought i might have to hide "land" switch though.
The wife might use it when she panicked when the headland dissapeared over the horizon!

Better see first if you can get a little bit more info on it Ashley. Relay contacts might be your main concern, if hard wired or electronically operated. Electronically operated - forget about it, and even hard contacts might need additional relays to handle the load of steering solenoids etc. Might be a lot of trouble in the long run. If you do go ahead with this, get back on here and leave us know what happened !

Are you serious or is this a wind up? This item is only the autopilot control panel that goes into the coaming above the instruments. It is NOT the autopilot. In any case it would not be suitable without a mountain of other gubbins to go with it. Forget it!

I think this box only works with boats that have winged keels ha ha ha!
