Robertson - Simrad - AP300DLX - Autopilot Control Head LCD Restoration

Mail-In LCD Restoration for Robertson / Simrad AP300DLX, AP300DL and AP300X Autopilot Control Heads

Autopilot still steering but you can't read the screen? The Robertson and Simrad AP300 series control heads were built to last, but after years at the helm the LCD fades, darkens, turns black in the sun and loses segments, until heading, rudder angle and mode readouts become unreadable. These units are long discontinued and used ones are expensive and just as old. Ship us your control head and we restore the LCD with brand new parts, bench test it, and send it back ready to plug in. • Fits AP300DLX, AP300DL and AP300X series control heads • Brand new LCD installed in your original control head • Your circuit board, housing, keypad and settings stay with your unit • Turnaround of 3 days or less • A fraction of the cost of a used replacement head
