[LW11] Adding second autopilot ?
We currently have a Raymarine autopilot on our sailing boat (ST6001 head, S3 computer, type 2 liner drive) linked to the Axiom pro 9S MFD (although the MFD does not control the autopilot like the old C80 did).

Looking at possibly adding a second autopilot system (Head, computer, drive unit and sensor) to allow for redundancy during long crossings, so can this be done?

Dear leemarkadams,

Thank you for your post.

You can install a second pilot but it will have to be isolated from the network whilst not in use, you cannot have 2 pilots live on the same network.
You could put in a 3 way switch for ease of choosing the pilot you wish to use.

Many Thanks
Louise

Louise, many thanks and am thinking of adding a new evolution autopilot system to link to my existing system and then using the current autopilot as the "spare". Would this be the best option?

Dear leemarkadams,

Having the Evolution pilot as your main pilot is the definite solution and your old pilot as a backup.

Many Thanks
Louise
