[CA] [CA11] Autopilot upgrade

[rfadler]

Hi,

I have a 2005 model year 43' sailing catamaran that originally came with all Raymarine equipment. Last year I replaced the chart plotter and wind instruments with an Axiom Pro 12 and and i70s but didn't replace the autopilot as it was working fine.

Now the autopilot is no longer working fine, it switches from auto to standby with no warning. I think it's time to replace it. It's a ST7000 control unit with a Type 100/300 course computer and a Type 2 rotary drive.

I'd like to keep the Type 2 rotary drive as it's the most difficult component to replace and seems to be working fine.

What do I need to buy? I'm guessing an ACU-400 autopilot, EV-1 sensor, and a p70s control.

Is this correct? Will the new unit use the old fluxgate compass (I'm guessing not)?

Thank you!
