Common Question of Simrad OP12
What is the OP12 controller?
The Simrad OP12 is an autopilot controller for compatible Simrad steering systems. It provides user-interface functions but is not necessarily a complete autopilot package. Confirm processor, drive, feedback, heading source, network, power supply, and marine autopilot controller compatibility before installation.
Does it include a drive unit?
No. The listing identifies the OP12 as an autopilot controller and does not state that a pump, drive, feedback sensor, course computer, heading source, wiring, or mounting hardware is included. Confirm package contents before purchase.
Is it an anchor windlass control?
No. The OP12 manages compatible autopilot steering functions and does not operate a gypsy, drum, chain, or anchor rope. It is not an anchor windlass component. Verify separate controls for marine anchor retrieval.
