Description
In perfect working condition with warranty.
The Wheelpilot WP32 combines highly sophisticated electronics with advanced software and a
powerful mechanical drive, which can supply up to 80Nm torque, to provide accurate and reliable
steering performance under a variety of different conditions with minimal current consumption.
The WP32 is entirely self-contained, all components – drive, compass and control pad are housed in a
single unit with no separate compass to fit.
The WP32 is suitable for wheel-steered sailing boats up to 12m (40 ft) in length and offers a range
of sophisticated functions, including additional remote control facilities, and Steer to Wind and Nav
(Steer to GPS) modes using external equipment linked directly to the Wheelpilot via the SimNet
high-speed bus or through the inbuilt NMEA0183 interface.
SimNet is an intelligent network system provided to facilitate integration of Simrad products by
sharing data. The system is built around the CanBus, a true multi-talker bus system with high
levels of error protection; all units are interconnected using a standard single cable.
The Pilot can receive navigational information from a Chartplotter, for Steer To GPS (Nav mode),
and will also accept wind angle data from the wind transducer for Steer To Wind mode, boat speed
data from the speed instrument and heading data from the compass transducer. Additionally,
heading data from the Pilot can be displayed on any instrument display capable of showing
compass information.
