Simrad AP48 Rotary Autopilot Control Head
The Simrad AP48 Rotary Autopilot Control Head offers precise and intuitive control over your Simrad autopilot system, providing a seamless navigation experience on the water. With its rotary knob interface and user-friendly design, this control head allows for effortless adjustments and access to autopilot functions.
Simrad’s AP48 Rotary Autopilot Control Head has been engineered for ultimate clarity, responsiveness, and optimal control in all conditions. An optically bonded 4.1-inch color display delivers clear visibility, while a large aluminum rotary control dial and dedicated ‘dodge keys’ enable quick and accurate heading adjustments.
Features:
- Rotary dial enables precise steering adjustments, while dodge keys enable instant heading changes in one-degree or ten-degree increments
- Designed for optimal control in all conditions, with large buttons ideal for use with wet or gloved hands
- Optically bonded display panel ensures all-weather visibility, eliminating the possibility of condensation or fogging within the display
- Transflective LCD technology makes use of reflected sunlight to brighten rather than obscure the screen, delivering superior daytime visibility
- Provides easy access to a range of built-in turn patterns designed to assist with fishing, diving, or just making a quick and efficient U-turn
- No Drift Steering counteracts the effects of wind and tide; making it easy to maintain a straight track over ground on your current heading, without having to manually set a waypoint or route
- Depth Contour Tracking works to maintain a constant depth of water beneath your boat, and is an ideal tool for fishing ledges and drop-offs
- Smart layout maximizes the size of the display and controls, while keeping its overall footprint down to enable easy flush-mount installation almost anywhere
- Alternatively, the controller can be bracket mounted to allow even more installation options

Intuitive Autopilot Control
The AP48 combines the same intuitive interface of the compact AP44 with a larger rotary control dial, dedicated ‘dodge’ keys, and other extended keypad controls. The AP48’s rotary dial enables precise steering adjustments, while dodge keys enable instant heading changes in one-degree or ten-degree increments. Designed for optimal control in all conditions, the AP48’s large buttons are ideal for use with wet or gloved hands. To ensure all-weather visibility, an optically bonded display panel eliminates the possibility of condensation or fogging within the display. Transflective LCD technology makes use of reflected sunlight to brighten rather than obscure the screen, delivering superior daytime visibility and lower power consumption compared to traditional backlit displays.
Easy Access to Advanced Features
Your Simrad autopilot can do much more than keep you on course. The AP48 gives you easy access to a range of built-in turn patterns designed to assist with fishing, diving, or just making a quick and efficient U-turn. No Drift Steering counteracts the effects of wind and tide; making it easy to maintain a straight track over ground on your current heading, without having to manually set a waypoint or route. Depth Contour Tracking works to maintain a constant depth of water beneath your boat, and is an ideal tool for fishing ledges and drop-offs.
Low-Profile ‘Glass Helm’ Design
Designed to complement Simrad glass helm displays, instruments, and controllers, the AP48 features modern styling with a low flush-mount profile of just eight millimetres excluding the rotary dial. A smart layout maximises the size of the AP48’s display and controls, while keeping its overall footprint down to enable easy flush-mount installation almost anywhere. Alternatively, the controller can be bracket mounted to allow even more installation options.
