General
This section provides detailed information required to

The AP20 system includes several modules that need to be

interface with at least three different systems on the boat:
•
The boat's steering system
•
The boats electrical system (input power)
•
Other equipment on board (NMEA interfacing)
In addition, the advanced capabilities of the AP20 require the
installer to perform a series of settings and tests to verify proper
