TR-1 Autopilot |
The Nautamatic Marine Systems TR-1 Autopilot provides a large “transflective” LCD display with anti-reflective coating. It also provides backlighting for easy night vision. It displays heading, steering mode, a rudder angle indication, a turn rate indicator, and a directional input dial. The TR-1 Gladiator gives the autopilot absolute control in any sea condition without a rudder feedback transducer, which can fail. Yet, the captain can take control of the helm at any time by turning the wheel. Trim rings are available in a variety of colors to match your boat. Contact Nautamatic at (800) 588-7655, or
