ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for automatically steering a boat having a wheel-operated steering mechanism including a detachable motor-driven actuator arm engaging the spokes of the wheel. The actuator arm is connected through a clutch to a servo mechanism for driving the actuator. The servo mechanism is responsive to a heading set on a magnetometer or a preset apparent wind indication. The heading responsive circuitry includes an integrating loop to compensate for long-term changes in steering conditions.
