[CA] [CA11] Evolution autopilot compatible with Simrad OP12 keyboard Autopilot Controller?

[JFM]

Good morning,

I have a Beneteau 361 (36’ sailboat) with Raymarine electronics (SmartPilot S1, a75, p70, etc..) and would like to upgrade to EV-200 core pack, Quantum2, i70 and Axiom12. However, I do not have enough room to fit the p70 control head on my cockpit console. I use only the Standby/auto and +/- 1º or 10° button on my p70… I also like physical push buttons instead of tactile command through the MFD.

My question is: because Raymarine do not have a small control head with just push buttons, do you know if I can use the Simrad « OP12 » Autopilot Controller (https://www.simrad-yachting.com/en-ca/si...ontroller/) with the Axiom/Evo system over NMEA2000? I will move my actual p70 control head inside at the nav station.

Warmest Regards,

Jean-François
