Raymarine’s advanced new p70 and p70R autopilot controls not only look good, they are also incredibly easy to use.

Featuring Raymarine’s highly intelligent new LightHouse user interface (first unveiled on the popular Raymarine e7 multifunction display), the p70 and p70R come with a new highly-effective anti-reflective coating. They are also an amazing four times brighter than previous models, although they use 27% less power!

Add in advanced LED backlighting and the p70 and p70R deliver bright, easy to see graphics and wide 160-degree viewing angles in all conditions, including direct sunlight.

The p70 features push button controls and is ideal for sailing yachts, providing excellent autopilot control. The p70 makes it very easy to respond to changing wind or sea states and the auto tack and gybe function is perfect for those sailing short- handed.

Ideally suited to powerboats and launches, the p70R has both push button controls and a rotary dial, can run a variety of fishing patterns and falso eatures Power Steer and Jog Steer.

A start-up wizard makes it very easy to set up the units, which can also accept data from multiple sources.

Raymarine’s new p70 and p70R autopilot controls are now available in New Zealand through Lusty and Blundell’s nationwide network of leading marine dealers.
