The WALKER 3000 combines the proven performance of NECO Autopilots with the latest digital control technology from WALKER to produce a NEW adaptive autopilot. The adaptive feature is normally only found in larger systems. In the adaptive mode the advanced logic of the control circuitry automatically adjusts rudder gain, yaw and counter rudder to the optimum values to suite the vessel's characteristics, prevailing weather and sea state conditions. The system may also be operated in the non adaptive AUTO mode with manually set values.

The WALKER 3000 is designed for small to medium sized vessels up to 50 metres. It is equally suitable for workboats or superyachts.

The adaptive feature of the WALKER 3000 is unique in an autopilot of this size. During the setup phase the pilot is put through a standard manouver procedure. The pilot "learns" the optimum characteristics over a period of 5 to 10 minutes. Once this initial stage is complete the pilot will adjust the parameters to changing sea and weather conditions during normal use.
