AUTOPILOT
Autopilot with Shadow Drive provides
unmatched control
The Volvo Penta Autopilot with Shadow Drive is
a complete auto-steering solution fully i­ntegrated
with the EVC-system. It delivers accurate course
keeping and smooth course turns at all speeds.
The autopilot fits Volvo Penta IPS and Aquamatics
with electronic steering.
VOLVO PENTA AUTOPILOT always keeps you on
course with a minimum of effort
Shadow drive
Shadow Drive is your steering
assistant that makes boating easier.
Instead of keeping the boat on
course using the steering wheel, you
can just release it and let the Shadow
Drive do the work. Take over manual
control of the helm at any time and
set a new heading.
FULLY INTEGRATED
Shadow Drive automatically disengages
the autopilot if the steering wheel is turned,
­giving you the freedom to make manual
course changes at any time. The autopilot
automatically re-engages when you hold a
steady course.
With Volvo Penta Autopilot you get a
complete auto-steering system without any additional interface requirements. The autopilot is fully integrated
in the EVC-system and available on
all helm stations on the boat. Power
up, s­ tation handling and dimming
integrate with the rest of the helm
station. When the ignition is switched
on, the autopilot will start and assume
standby mode. If changing station,
the autopilot follows the rest of the
helm controls but is only active on the
new station.
