[CA] [CA11] Autopilot components needed?

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum MSjack,

For most powerboat / Evolution autopilot use cases, an autopilot control head would not be required if the system features MFD running LightHouse 3 software. However, should it desired to use the Evolution autopilot's Fishing Patterns feature, then it would be necessary to add an autopilot control head to the system. This said, it is considered to be a best installation practice to install an autopilot control head at each steering station to support the quickest interaction with the autopilot.
