I have an old Robertson AP 300x Autopilot and my head died on the helm? I can't turn it on or off but have it jury rigged on brain box with switch to turn on & off- needless to say I need an upgrade..
While looking for a Replacment Head either another older Robertson head or a Simrad AP 20,21 or 22 control Head (Simrad Dealer told me these would plug right in to replace my head) I ran across a guy that has an entire working AP 22 Simrad Auto pilot- Everything he took off another boat - supposedly checked out and running- all for $500?
IS this worth paying to get a working Auto Pilot or is this AP 22 really outdated ?
I can take to Jaytron a local Simrad Dealer that will bench test system for $50 to confirm it all works but looking for feed back if it is good idea to upgrade to an AP 22 unit...
