1. Introduction

The CPT is an extra crew member to man the wheel, day or night, rain or shine. It is amazing to take your hands off the wheel and experience the freedom the CPT provides.

Warning

  • Always remember to maintain a proper look-out

  • Do not use the CPT in traffic or in waters where navigation is restricted!

  • An autopilot is NOT a substitute for good seamanship. Always maintain a permanent watch by the helm.

  • Keep children and pets away from the autopilot belt
